About Claire
Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through difficult life moments. She works from a belief that people have strengths to build on and offers a calm, respectful space to talk things through. Claire is based in the United Kingdom and practices with a focus on parenting concerns among many others.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, so conversations and practical ideas are always tailored rather than formulaic.
Background and approach
She pays particular attention to the needs of neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community, and adapts pacing and communication to suit each client. Claire brings four years of professional experience to her work and holds BACP accreditation, which indicates a recognised professional standing in the UK.
She aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and to address relationship and intimacy-related issues. Other areas she supports include ADHD, addiction concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also works with concerns connected to attachment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiving, as well as life transitions like separation or career change.
Sessions can take different practical forms to fit someone’s life. Claire offers conversations that focus on listening, reflection and practical next steps. Her approach is gentle and goal-focused, helping people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Claire uses a person-centred approach that centres the conversation on the person in front of her. This means sessions focus on hearing your experience, reflecting it back, and helping you find your own next steps. It is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns where being heard and seen matters.She adapts the pace and tone to suit each person, which helps when someone is neurodivergent or part of the LGBT community. The aim is collaborative - the therapist and the person work together to choose what feels most helpful, and to adjust approach as goals change.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow visual connection and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers typing over speaking.
The variety of formats makes it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or health-related needs, while keeping the therapeutic focus on what helps someone move forward.
