About Claire

Claire Jones is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and eating concerns. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, coping with life changes and feelings of emptiness. Claire brings a calm, straightforward approach and encourages clients to lead their own progress.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person and their experience rather than labels. Conversations are often practical and paced to the client's comfort.

Background and approach

Claire emphasises listening, reflection and building on existing strengths. Claire has three years of professional experience in counselling practice. Her dissertation researched binge eating disorder, so she has studied eating and food-related issues in depth.

She also works with body image, guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of caregiving. People also reach out to Claire about midlife transitions, questions of life purpose and the loneliness that can come with big changes. She offers help with social anxiety, communication problems and women's issues, using steady, person-focused conversations to untangle worries.

The aim is to find small, manageable steps forward. Starting therapy can feel daunting and Claire frames the process as collaborative. She encourages clients to explore what they want to change and to take ownership of their goals while she provides support, empathy and practical feedback.

How Claire's approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than techniques. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear and helps the client explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach can help with grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and decisions around life changes by building self-awareness and confidence.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Claire will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses, so the approach can be adjusted over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text work well for people who prefer writing or need flexible, paced interactions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
