About Claire
Claire Kelly is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of formal counselling experience. She combines that recent counselling work with a long background in bodywork and holistic therapies to support people facing common adult challenges. Claire lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, ADHD, intimacy issues, career concerns and compassion fatigue among her main areas of focus.
She works in a person-centred way, which means conversations follow the client’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on helping someone name what feels difficult and find clearer ways to respond. Claire also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns and on mindfulness to help manage overwhelming feelings.
Her approach aims to make practical changes day to day. That could mean short skills to calm anxiety, making sense of grief, or mapping out next steps when a career feels uncertain. She can also help people reflect on attachment, abandonment, and foster or adoption histories when these feel relevant.
Claire notes experience supporting those with autism traits, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, body image worries, chronic illness or pain, and caregiver stress. She also works with issues such as codependency, dissociation, control and communication problems.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Claire combines person-centred work with emotionally-focused and mindfulness methods. Person-centred therapy centres on what the client brings to the session and lets conversations move at the client’s pace. Emotionally-focused work looks at patterns in relationships and how emotions shape interactions. Mindfulness offers simple practices to notice and steady strong feelings, which can help with anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on emotions between people, internal parts work, or practical skills for day-to-day coping.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy schedules. They also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video when that helps, and the chance to keep progress going when travel or time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the way they work online to suit someone’s routine rather than asking major schedule changes.
