About Claire
Claire Thomas-Davis is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. Claire supports people coping with trauma, grief, self-esteem issues and life transitions including midlife change and questions of life purpose.
Claire uses practical conversations to help people name what feels most difficult. She listens for patterns linked to attachment and relationship dynamics. Sessions often focus on how past experiences shape present reactions, and on small steps to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.
Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening, emotionally-focused work and body-aware methods. That means sessions can include talking about feelings, noticing bodily reactions, and learning ways to calm or shift strong emotions. Claire also weaves in mindfulness practices where helpful to steady attention and reduce rumination.
She helps people with concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, body image, and isolation. Claire also supports those dealing with divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and the impact of narcissistic relationships. Work may include addressing guilt, shame and forgiveness so people can move forward with clearer priorities.
Sessions are conducted in English and aimed at adults. Claire asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule an initial appointment to discuss goals and practical arrangements before regular sessions begin.
How Claire's approaches translate to online work
Claire uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps when people want to understand repeated difficulties in closeness and trust.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to help identify and name core feelings, and on client-centred listening to make space for clients to set the pace and topics. Emotional-focused work can support people dealing with grief, relationship breakdown or overwhelming affect, while client-centred listening keeps the process grounded in what matters to the individual.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs together and decide what methods to use as therapy progresses. That collaborative review helps ensure the approach fits current challenges and changes over time.
