About Claire
Claire Reynolds welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns and relationship problems, and helps people take small steps towards clearer thinking and steadier days. Claire uses straightforward language and practical conversation so parents can focus on what matters most for their family life.
Claire has four years of practice and is a BACP member. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to each person, with attention to strengths and realistic, achievable changes. Her approach is rooted in client-centred work. That means the person is at the heart of every session and the counsellor follows their lead while offering reflections and structure.
Claire also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and set practical goals that support day-to-day functioning. Many people come for help with parenting stress, communication problems, grief, sleep or relationship strain. Claire offers plainspoken guidance and collaborative problem solving rather than complex jargon.
She helps people build resources they can use between sessions. Sessions can be conducted by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Claire aims for an approach that fits each person's life, values and goals so they can make steady progress at a comfortable pace.

How client-centred work and CBT fit with online sessions
Claire uses client-centred therapy to create a listening space where the person's concerns guide each session; this approach helps people feel heard and choose the focus of the work. Client-centred work is useful for exploring parenting stress, relationship strain and emotional overload.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT offers practical exercises and step-by-step strategies that can help with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Claire will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods to match what helps most. The aim is to find a way of working that fits the person's needs, pace and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to face-to-face and suit longer sessions or when non-verbal cues matter. Phone sessions use less data and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for short check-ins, ongoing coaching and when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around family life and other commitments.
