About Claire
Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP is a person-centred counsellor who helps people sort through stress, anxiety, grief and life changes.

She uses a gentle, non-directive style that leaves choices with the client. Sessions focus on feelings, relationships and patterns that make life harder.
Background and approach
Claire aims to help people name emotions, make sense of past harm, and try new ways of coping. Claire trained to degree level and holds BACP registration, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's ethical framework. She also carries a DBS check and professional insurance.
This background shapes how she runs sessions and manages boundaries. Her clinical work draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused approaches alongside person-centred listening. That mix helps when dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, addiction or relationship difficulties.
Claire explains things plainly and works at a pace each person finds manageable. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Getting started is a simple process of completing a short questionnaire and booking a time that suits the client.

How Claire's approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they connect or withdraw in relationships. It can be useful for anxiety, attachment issues and difficulties forming trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without direction and helping the client find their own solutions; this approach suits people who want to explore values, identity and self-worth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about identifying and working with core emotions in the moment to change unhelpful interaction patterns and reduce emotional distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Claire will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then collaboratively decide which ideas to use. The choice can change over time as the work progresses and new issues arise.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work interactively. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit times when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and reflective work easier to fit into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy going around work, travel or family life.
