About Claire

Claire Jones works with grief, self esteem, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety and eating concerns using a client-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Claire encourages people to take an active role in their therapy. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with attention to what is happening now and what the person wants to change.

Her work includes support for midlife transitions and other life stage changes. Claire has researched binge eating disorder for her dissertation and brings that knowledge to conversations about eating and body image. She also helps people who are coping with loss, feelings of emptiness, or the stress of caregiving.

Conversations can cover practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, ways to rebuild self esteem, and ways to manage difficult emotions such as guilt or shame. Claire pays attention to how everyday routines, relationships and responsibilities affect mood and motivation.

She practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People usually start by considering what they want to change, then work with Claire to set simple, realistic goals. The counsellor describes the first step as sometimes the hardest, and aims to make the process clear and manageable.

How Claire uses client-centred work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on supporting the person to lead the direction of sessions. The counsellor reflects what people say, checks understanding, and helps people clarify their goals; this approach can help with stress, anxiety and rebuilding self esteem.

Claire also draws on her research into eating issues when conversations focus on food, body image or disordered eating. That background informs questions and practical discussion about everyday routines and triggers rather than providing a set treatment plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claire will discuss what is helping and what is not, and will work collaboratively to identify the best fit based on the person's needs and preferences. The focus is on clear goals and practical steps agreed together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, such as arranging appointments during a lunch break or when travel would be difficult. It can also allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support without a full session.
