About Claire
Claire Tristram offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She welcomes conversations about low mood and depression, stress, anxiety and relationship strain. Claire aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.
Claire is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP. She creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and painful events. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
In work with clients she pays attention to the everyday effects of problems - sleep, motivation, eating and how people relate to others. She helps people untangle patterns that make things harder, such as control issues, isolation or repeated arguments. Practical conversation and simple steps are used alongside talking about feelings.
When trauma or abuse are part of a person’s story, Claire moves at the client’s pace and looks for ways to make distressing memories less intrusive. For relationship and intimacy concerns, she helps people improve communication and set clearer boundaries. For addictions and anger, she focuses on small, achievable changes.
Claire also supports people exploring life purpose, self-esteem and parenting pressures. Her aim is to help clients find tools that fit their day-to-day life, so progress can continue between sessions. The emphasis is on steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss what is most relevant to each person's goals, try methods in session and adapt them as progress is made. This collaborative way helps ensure the work fits the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter or easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging options suit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to work around daily commitments while still getting consistent support from a registered professional.
