About Claire

Her background includes 15 years working in the UK mental health field and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Claire is based in Northern Ireland and notes that client agreements are under Northern Ireland law and UK jurisdiction.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claire discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time. This collaborative way of working means the approach can change as progress is made or new difficulties appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for in‑depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and short text or chat sessions work well for quick check‑ins or practising new strategies. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and travel.
