About Claire

Claire Kleiner works with people using person-centred counselling to help them process difficult experiences and make changes they want in life. She is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom.

Claire uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client’s perspective. Sessions aim to explore feelings and choices at a comfortable pace. She says the work is about supporting people to understand themselves better and to make decisions that fit their life.

She has experience with neurodivergent clients and people in the LGBT community. Claire works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, grief, sleeping difficulties and parenting pressures.

Her practice also covers a number of related difficulties such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and geriatric issues, body image and chronic illness and pain. She can help with communication and commitment problems, divorce and separation, and career questions.

Claire describes sessions as adapted to the individual. She focuses on listening and reflecting to help clients notice what matters and try different ways of coping. International clients may be accepted and sessions are offered in English.

Person-centred counselling and how it works online

Person-centred therapy places the client’s own experiences and choices at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens and reflects rather than directing the conversation, which can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and identity concerns.

Claire also notes experience working with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community. That background can shape how sessions are paced and how topics are explored, for example by adjusting the pace or focusing on clear communication and practical coping steps.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences over a few sessions.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows clients to try different ways of meeting without changing their overall plan.
