Claire Kleiner
Person-centred counsellor offering steady support
About Claire
Claire Kleiner is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where the focus is on the person's experience and what they want to change. Claire aims to support people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to move forward.
Claire has four years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds a BACP credential, which reflects professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community, and she adapts sessions to fit individual needs. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings to therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all method. In conversation, Claire tends to listen first and ask simple questions to help people name their concerns.
She helps clients explore feelings like grief, anger, low self-esteem or stress. Practical discussion and reflective listening are used to uncover patterns and identify small changes that can make a difference. She also addresses issues such as sleep problems, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain and challenges connected to chronic illness or caregiving.
Claire can work with concerns about addiction, ADHD, relationship difficulties and career crossroads. Her aim is to empower people so they can make clearer choices in their daily lives. People who choose Claire can expect sessions tailored to their priorities.
She focuses on building trust, exploring what matters most and supporting gradual change at a pace that feels right.

Sessions & fees
Person-centred care through online counselling
Claire uses a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of each session. This approach involves listening without judgement, reflecting back what is shared and helping people clarify what they want to change. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries and identity-related concerns.Where relevant, Claire adapts the way sessions run to match a person's communication style and needs. She aims to tailor the pace and focus so the work feels relevant and manageable. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process and she will discuss options with each person to find the best fit for their goals and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and a fuller conversational flow. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging give a shorter, more frequent way to check in and work through small steps between longer sessions.
These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or mobility limits, and they provide practical flexibility for different lifestyles. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use person-centred methods, can work with people across locations to offer continued support.
