About Claire
Counsellor Claire Roberts, NCPS, has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom and focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and related concerns. She works with people who are coping with life changes, depression, addictions and relationship or family difficulties.
Claire describes a pluralistic approach that draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test practical changes and build day-to-day coping skills. Sessions are conversational and aim to be direct and practical.
Her work often covers grief and loss, parenting strain, workplace stress and burnout, and problems with sleep and motivation. She also helps with issues such as body image, attachment concerns and codependency when these affect everyday functioning. Claire lists compassion fatigue and caregiver stress among her focus areas.
She uses mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to support behaviour change and to increase awareness of patterns that keep problems repeating. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used to work on thoughts, routines and small experiments between sessions. Psychodynamic ideas help explore past experiences that shape current feelings and relationships.
Claire says she prefers a collaborative working style. She helps people set practical goals, try new ways of responding, and review progress over time. For someone deciding whether to book, she asks that they be ready to work together on clear, practical steps toward change.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the client brings, which helps when the main need is to be understood and to clarify priorities.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and small practical changes. It helps with anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and habits that keep difficulties going by setting tasks and reviewing results together.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can support stress management and help with emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client and counsellor review what works and change direction if needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, remove travel time and allow quicker follow-ups or brief check-ins when useful. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a mix of longer sessions and shorter reviews to suit client needs.
