About Claire

Claire Tristram works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports issues such as self-esteem, addictions, eating problems, parenting strain and anger. Claire is a BACP member with 15 years of professional experience.

Claire uses straightforward talking therapy to help clients sort through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on helping people name what is happening and try practical ways to manage it. She aims to create an environment where people can speak openly without judgment.

Her work often includes addressing communication problems and control issues that make daily life harder. She helps people who feel isolated or who are unsure about life purpose to find clearer steps forward. For relationship concerns she looks at patterns between people and what might be changed in day-to-day interactions.

When trauma and abuse are part of the picture, Claire works at a measured pace and prioritises what each person feels ready to do. For issues with eating, addictions or anger she helps clients develop practical coping strategies and small behaviour changes to try between sessions.

Claire’s approach is practical and conversational. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients and counsellor decide what to focus on. People can expect clear discussion, gentle challenge and practical steps they can use outside sessions.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out gentler, more helpful ways of thinking; this can reduce day-to-day worry and make action feel easier. Another approach centres on addressing patterns in relationships by looking at repeated interactions and practising different responses; this helps with communication and intimacy-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together with the client what to try first, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. This makes the process collaborative and responsive to how someone is coping.

Online sessions can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. The emphasis is on practical ways to bring therapeutic ideas into everyday routines rather than on any particular delivery method.
