About Claire

Claire Wilson NCPS is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after a change, who are unsure what comes next, or who want to make different choices in work or life. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, self-esteem and ADHD among others.

Claire emphasises how our relationship with ourselves affects other relationships. She helps people notice patterns in thinking, feeling and behaviour. That can include looking at attachment styles, coping strategies, and unhelpful thinking that keeps someone stuck.

Her approach draws on several therapeutic ideas. Client-centred work means conversations focus on the person in front of her and what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and shift negative thinking and unhelpful habits. Attachment-based and narrative elements help make sense of past relationships and the stories people tell about themselves.

Sessions involve practical conversations and reflection. Claire supports people to build skills for emotional regulation and everyday coping. She also works with trauma, including PTSD, complex PTSD and interpersonal trauma, and with issues linked to chronic illness or pain.

People who choose her often want clear, practical ways to move from feeling stuck to handling life changes more effectively. To begin, the site recommends completing the short matching questionnaire and booking an initial session using the online options.

How her online work links to therapeutic approaches

Claire uses client-centred work to keep the focus on what matters to the individual. That approach means sessions are shaped around the client’s priorities and concerns, with space to talk and reflect on current problems and choices.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and habits. CBT techniques can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood and practical problems that come from repetitive thinking. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early and adult relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Claire will discuss different approaches with each person and agree together which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps adjust sessions as needs change.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or childcare, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists often use these features to help people maintain regular contact while juggling everyday life.
