About Claire
Claire Roberts is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with NCPS who aims to support people through stressful and painful life moments. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, low mood, grief, low self-esteem and parenting stress. Her style is warm, interactive and non-judgemental, with a straightforward, collaborative way of working.
Claire draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new behaviours.
Background and approach
She combines this with client-centred listening to make space for each person’s experience. Elements of psychodynamic thinking are also used to look at patterns that repeat over time. In sessions Claire helps people build practical coping tools.
That can mean short exercises to manage anxiety, strategies to improve sleep, or ways to rebuild confidence after loss. She lays out simple steps and checks in on progress together. Her work often addresses life changes and relationship strain, and she can support people coping with burnout, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
She also works with concerns such as addictions, body image, attachment issues and communication problems. Claire has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers a respectful space where people can talk through difficult feelings and plan realistic next steps.
Her aim is to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day life and make choices that suit them.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Claire commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it focuses on practical steps and measurable changes.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises listening and building a trusting connection. That approach helps people feel heard while they consider changes at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. From that discussion a plan is agreed and continually reviewed so the approach fits the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls mimic face-to-face sessions and allow visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or arranging support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
