About Claire

Claire Jones works on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and low self-esteem using an integrative, evidence-based approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and has five years' experience in practice.

Claire combines different therapeutic techniques to suit the needs a person brings. She uses a humanistic starting point, which treats the person as central to their own experience. Sessions focus on talking through what is difficult now and on building practical skills to cope between meetings.

Her background in the corporate world informs her work with career stress and workplace pressures. Claire can translate strategies from that setting into everyday routines to reduce overwhelm and improve wellbeing. She also works with relationship difficulties, communication problems, and issues around intimacy and commitment.

Claire has developed experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and a range of mood-related problems such as depression and bipolar spectrum difficulties. She also helps with attention difficulties, obsessive thoughts and panic symptoms, and with the emotional impact of chronic illness and disability.

Where needed, sessions include practical exercises and simple tools to manage anxiety, reduce compulsive thinking and improve self-care. Claire aims to help people notice patterns, try different approaches, and make changes at a pace that suits them. To start, a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment are used to agree goals and practical steps.

How Claire applies therapeutic approaches online

Claire works from an integrative framework, meaning she mixes techniques to fit what a person needs. That can include talking-based humanistic work which focuses on a person's experience and on building awareness, and practical cognitive-style approaches that teach skills for managing anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Each method is used to target specific concerns such as stress, panic symptoms or compulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what to try first, adjusting techniques as progress is reviewed. The collaboration focuses on goals, what works in daily life and what feels manageable between sessions.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or video or phone choices to match comfort with being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors use these options to help people keep therapy consistent with their everyday routines.
