About Claire

Claire Scarlett is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the effects of trauma.

Claire supports clients coping with life changes such as separation, blended family issues, career shifts and the pressures young adults face. She also works with people navigating neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD related challenges. Her practice includes help for grief, low self-esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, and social anxiety.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on listening, noticing strengths and trying practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Claire uses a mix of methods including attachment work, client-centred techniques, cognitive approaches and mindfulness practices to help people make clearer choices.

In sessions Claire pays attention to patterns that get in the way of relationships and wellbeing. She will talk through what matters most and try simple, concrete tools for coping with stress and mood changes. She also explores how past experiences might influence current behaviour and relationships.

People who feel stuck after leaving education, starting work, or dealing with early-adulthood pressures may find this approach helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals and agree ways of working.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people understand attachment patterns, feel less stuck in repeated relationship problems, and try different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It supports people who need space to make sense of choices and to build confidence in their own decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and for developing practical coping strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claire will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative approach helps keep sessions relevant to current problems and everyday pressures.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, shifts or busy work weeks. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and reduce travel time so appointments fit into a typical day.
