About Claire

Claire Jones is a BACP counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, eating concerns, self-esteem and the challenge of life changes. Claire also supports those navigating midlife transitions and questions about life purpose.

Claire uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s own perspective central. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the individual, and helping them notice strengths they already have. She talks through practical steps and ways to manage difficult feelings so people can take clearer decisions about next steps.

Her interest in eating and food-related issues stems from research. Claire’s dissertation explored binge eating disorder and she has continued reading and learning in this area. That background informs how she discusses body image and eating concerns with clients.

People who come for help with grief or life transitions can expect straightforward conversation about what they are experiencing. The emphasis is on pacing the work and finding ways to cope with immediate stress while looking ahead to longer term choices.

Claire aims to support clients to become the drivers of their own lives. She invites people to reflect on values, small changes and decisions that fit their circumstances. Practical suggestions and open discussion are used rather than rigid techniques.

Client-centred work and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's own perspective at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without directing, reflects what the person says, and helps them make sense of their feelings. This approach is helpful for concerns like anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and questions about life purpose.

Claire’s approach involves collaborative decision making about how to proceed. She will discuss what feels most useful, try different ways of working, and adjust the approach according to the client's needs and goals. Finding the right fit is treated as part of the work together rather than a fixed choice up front.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, health care appointments or daily caregiving. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work during a period of life change. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform can help choose pacing and practical arrangements that suit each person's circumstances.
