About Claire

Claire Burton works with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has three years of professional experience. Claire presents herself as a counsellor who aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

Claire uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage intense feelings, tackle panic or low mood, and cope with life changes. She also supports people dealing with issues around ADHD, relationships and intimacy, and self-esteem.

Her practice includes additional focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, matters relating to BDSM and kink culture, dissociation, self-harm, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse. Claire works with young adult issues and difficulties linked to personality differences and seasonal affective disorder.

In a session she listens to what is happening now, and what someone wants to change. Conversations often include planning simple steps to try between sessions and reviewing what helps. The approach is practical and process-led rather than theoretical.

Claire offers counselling in English from the United Kingdom. She describes the step of asking for help as a difficult but important first move, and she supports clients as they explore options and next steps for themselves.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Claire describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems such as anxiety, low mood and trauma. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviour and trying small, practical changes to reduce distress and improve coping. Another approach involves slow, careful work on traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger, helping people notice triggers and learn grounding strategies to manage dissociation or panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which techniques fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many clients find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work and family commitments, can be shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online counselling that makes it simpler to maintain regular appointments while managing other responsibilities.
