About Claire
Claire Scarlett is a counsellor and a member of BACP with four years of professional experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and neurodiversity-related concerns including autism and ADHD.
Claire focuses on practical conversations. She listens to each person's account and helps them name what is causing pain or getting in the way. Sessions look at everyday problems such as sleep, eating, anger, career pressures and low self-esteem alongside broader issues like grief, trauma and life changes.
Her approach draws on attachment ideas, client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she pays attention to how relationships affect feelings, follows the person's pace, and uses straightforward strategies to try out between sessions.
Claire also uses existential and mindfulness approaches when these suit. Those methods help people reflect on values, make sense of difficult choices, and practise simple ways to reduce worry and focus attention in daily life.
She welcomes people from LGBT communities and young adults, and works with those facing separation, blended family problems or parenting strain. Claire accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.
How Claire uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Claire uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and close relationships shape current feelings. This approach can help people who notice repeating patterns in relationships or who find intimacy difficult.She also works with client-centred principles, which means sessions follow the person's pace and focus on what they say matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try out practical strategies for mood, sleep or anxiety problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That process is collaborative and based on the person's preferences and daily needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family commitments. They can also allow a shorter check-in or a phone call when video is not practical, helping people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
