About Claire

Claire Thomas-Davis works with people who feel stuck and those coping with trauma, grief, relationship problems and major life changes. She uses talking and body-aware approaches to help clients manage strong emotions and improve everyday coping. Claire is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

She offers practical, conversational work that focuses on current difficulties and how these link to past experiences. Claire uses client-centred methods to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She also draws on attachment-based and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour.

Somatic techniques are used to notice how the body holds stress and emotion, and mindfulness practices are introduced to build awareness and reduce reactivity. Sessions combine talking with grounded exercises so people can try different ways of coping between meetings. Claire aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long lists of tasks.

Her focus areas include family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, midlife crisis, narcissism, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth, and self-love.

People who choose Claire usually want straightforward, steady support to make sense of their feelings and to find ways of feeling more like themselves again. To begin, readers should confirm current session formats before booking.

How Claire's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current feelings and responses; this helps when people want to understand why they repeat relationship patterns or struggle with trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment and on being listened to without judgement, which supports people who need space to talk things through at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions in the here-and-now and helps people name, feel and make sense of strong feelings to change unhelpful cycles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss which methods fit the person's needs, goals and preferences and adapt how sessions run as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or meetings without needing travel time. They are also useful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed, so sessions can be more easily scheduled into everyday life.
