About Claire
Claire Meyrick is a counsellor and member of NCPS with four years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and other life changes.
Claire uses a combination of talking approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, spotting patterns in behaviour, and finding practical ways to cope. She listens, reflects, and helps people name what is affecting them so they can make manageable changes.
Her background includes client-centred work that places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas can help when problems link back to early relationships and recurring patterns.
Sessions often look at everyday stresses such as work pressure, parenting strains, grief or compassion fatigue. Claire helps people examine relationship difficulties and make decisions about next steps. She also offers short solution-focused conversations when a clear goal or practical change is wanted.
Claire aims to work at a pace that feels manageable. She encourages people to take small steps and to notice what changes when different approaches are tried. To start, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match their needs and book a first appointment.
How Claire’s approaches are used in online counselling
Claire often uses client-centred work which focuses on the person’s experience and what matters to them. This approach helps people talk through feelings and make sense of their current problems in a straightforward way. She also applies cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try simple behaviour experiments. CBT-style techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching practical ways to change thoughts and actions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then agree together on which methods to try. That way the plan can change as the work progresses and as different techniques are tested. Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work, childcare or travel, and reducing time spent commuting. It can make it easier to book shorter check-ins or regular appointments when life is busy. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here.Areas of expertise
