About Claire
Claire Gillyon is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family matters, coping with life changes, eating concerns, parenting and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
In sessions Claire uses Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas to help people reflect on patterns and feelings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness approaches when practical steps and thinking habits need attention. Internal Family Systems work also appears in her practice to help people understand inner parts and self-relations.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. She helps people notice recurring patterns, try different ways of responding, and pay attention to what feels most helpful day to day. Claire often works with issues around intimacy, abandonment, attachment and communication problems.
She has additional experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress. People also bring concerns such as codependency, commitment worries, control issues, dissociation and alternative sexual cultures including BDSM and kink.
Claire accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How Claire’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist offers non-judgemental attention and reflects back what she hears to help people become clearer about their feelings and choices. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and steps to test different ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, stress and unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention practices to help people notice their moment-to-moment experience. This can reduce reactivity and aid coping with strong emotions and compassion fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they will try methods and adjust them as needed, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
