About Claire

Claire Roberts uses a pluralistic, person-focused approach to therapy. She combines practical tools with reflective work to help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. Claire holds the NCPS credential and brings five years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on building straightforward coping strategies that fit into daily life. Sessions often include goal-setting, practical exercises, and time to talk through difficult feelings. Claire uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness techniques and psychodynamic ideas to tailor support to each person.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and interactive. She aims to listen without judgement and to treat people with sensitivity and respect. The emphasis is on helping someone feel heard while working towards achievable change.

Claire has worked with people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career uncertainty and the emotional impact of illness. She also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep problems, anger and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include attachment concerns, body image and family problems.

Therapy usually balances short-term practical work with deeper exploration when that helps. Claire encourages a collaborative plan so that sessions match the needs and pace of each person. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, improved self-esteem and better daily coping skills.

To begin, Claire asks people to reflect on goals and current difficulties so sessions stay focused and useful. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with tools that can be used long after therapy ends.

Sessions & fees

Approaches that suit online therapy

Claire blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical alternatives, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaboration allows adjustments over time so the plan fits each person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy lets people access sessions more easily across different formats. Video calls enable face-to-face conversations when a fuller discussion is helpful. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing their thoughts or need flexible, brief contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical, meaningful progress.
