About Claire
Claire Reynolds is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She welcomes those who feel unsure about starting therapy and aims to make the first steps straightforward and calm. Claire writes in a warm, down-to-earth way and focuses on what matters to each person in the room.
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting space. That approach puts the person's experience first and lets them set the pace for change.
Background and approach
Claire also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical ways to shift them. With four years' experience, Claire has worked with people dealing with relationships, parenting strain, addiction, grief and trauma. She also supports concerns like self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes.
Her background includes work with issues linked to illness, caregiving and bereavement. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Claire aims to adapt sessions to what each person finds most useful, whether that is reflective conversation or more structured exercises.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Claire practises in the United Kingdom and shapes sessions around the client’s goals, values and daily life. If someone is ready to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions to suit their schedule.

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 draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT sessions often include clear goals, simple experiments and practical steps to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviour that causes distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences. Some sessions may be more exploratory, while others use structured exercises from CBT.
Online sessions give flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter and fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need a quick check-in, or find messaging easier than speaking. These formats make it possible to keep up with therapy around work, family and daily life.
