About Claire
Claire Scarlett is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and the fallout from trauma. Parents and those dealing with family and relationship tensions will find practical support for everyday pressures.
Claire values the strengths people already have and treats them as the starting point for change. She offers a straightforward, person-centred style.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to understand what matters most to the client and to build manageable steps forward. Claire uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including attachment work and cognitive-behavioural techniques alongside mindfulness and existential perspectives. Conversations tend to be direct and down-to-earth.
Claire helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships, then tries out new ways of responding. She also pays attention to how past experiences shape present difficulties, especially around attachment and family dynamics. Parents looking for help with parenting stress, blended family issues or separation can expect practical strategies and emotional validation.
Topics such as sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem and neurodiversity are also within her scope of support. Claire aims to make the process feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Sessions are available online in English and can work alongside busy family lives.
The approach is collaborative - Claire and each person decide together what will help most and how to test it in small steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Claire often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current behaviour and emotional responses. This can be helpful for those noticing repeated patterns in relationships or in parenting interactions.She also draws on client-centred principles, which means sessions focus on the person's own goals and pace. The counsellor listens closely and helps the client name what they want to change before offering options to try.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will discuss different methods and recommend what seems most useful for a person's particular situation. This is a collaborative decision that can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy weeks. Video calls allow face-to-face contact; phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when writing is easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside family and work life.
