About Clair

Clair Fulton is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. Clair also supports issues often affecting young adults, including life transitions, career uncertainty, identity and LGBT matters.

Clair uses a client-centred style and draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools when helpful. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people talk through thoughts, feelings and behaviours that get in the way. She aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and practical for the person in front of her.

Her background includes school-based counselling and early intervention work with 11–25 year olds, and several years supporting children and young people in residential and foster care. She has experience with adults in education and those working in health and social care settings. She also teaches counselling skills at a higher education college.

Clair has supported people dealing with trauma, attachment issues, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and ADHD-related concerns. She also works with people facing blended family issues, fertility or separation, body image and self-esteem problems, and feelings of isolation.

People meet practical strategies and reflective listening in her sessions. She encourages small, achievable steps and helps people notice what works. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process and book a first session so they can talk about goals and next steps.

How Clair uses client-centred work and CBT in online sessions

Clair draws on client-centred therapy by focusing on the person's own experience and priorities. That means sessions begin with the client’s concerns and moves at their pace, with the counsellor reflecting back what she hears and helping people make sense of feelings and choices.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy methods to look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT techniques are used to break down problems into manageable steps, practise different responses and test out new patterns. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clair will discuss options and agree on goals together, adjusting methods based on the client’s needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and practical, with a focus on what helps day to day.

Session formats are not listed on this profile, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and travel, and it can reduce time spent on commuting. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when energy is low, while others choose video sessions for a fuller conversation; Clair will help identify what suits each person.
