About Claire
Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, stress or life changes. She meets people online, by phone, and through live chat or messaging, making it straightforward to fit therapy into a busy week. Claire uses plain language and an open style to help clients name what matters and start making small changes.
Claire draws on person-centred practice to place the client’s experience at the heart of sessions.
Background and approach
She listens for what a person notices about their feelings and helps them say it out loud. This approach is often helpful for low mood, grief, self-esteem concerns and the isolation that can come with long-term problems. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships can shape feeling and behaviour now.
That can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment worries, or repeating painful patterns in relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) features in her work when the focus turns to understanding and shifting strong emotions. Claire has four years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She works within the BACP ethical framework and holds public liability insurance. Sessions are offered in English and are conducted from the United Kingdom. Practical session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
The service runs on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Approaches Claire lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also integrates attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships affect current patterns. Working with those patterns can help when someone feels stuck in repeating behaviours or struggles with abandonment and trust concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when the work turns to exploring and shifting strong emotions that maintain distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claire treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss goals and preferences to decide what to focus on together. That makes it easier to adapt sessions as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can fit around work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing helps express difficult feelings. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care across a busy week.
