About Claire

Claire Roberts is a Professionally Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (NCPS) working in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, mild depression, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation. Her practice places particular emphasis on women's health and emotional wellbeing across adult life.

Claire describes a pluralistic way of working that draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Humanistic ideas and Psychodynamic therapy. She aims to help clients understand their experiences and build practical coping tools. Sessions focus on clear steps and realistic strategies as well as exploring patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her work often includes tackling relationship and family difficulties, issues around identity and abandonment, and the emotional effects of caregiving or caring for someone with serious illness. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, addictions and body image concerns. Conversations can cover practical life decisions such as career pressures and coping with major life change.

Claire uses motivational interviewing techniques when people struggle to find direction or keep changing goals. She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help reduce worry and increase moment-to-moment calm. The mix of talking, practical exercises and reflective work is chosen with the client rather than prescribed from the outset.

If someone is thinking about therapy, Claire asks them to consider what they want to change and how they prefer to work. The initial steps are a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first appointment via the online booking flow.

How Claire uses different approaches in online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their priorities so therapy stays relevant to everyday problems.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and increase calm in stressful moments. This can be useful for people with worry, sleep problems or trouble staying present.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then shape sessions together. That collaborative decision helps decide whether more practical CBT work, reflective psychodynamic exploration or gentle mindfulness practice is best.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they can be done between sessions and in everyday settings.
