About Claire

Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor with seven years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low mood. She also supports concerns such as grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and burnout-related fatigue.

Claire uses short, direct conversations to help people clarify problems and try practical steps. She listens without judgement and adapts sessions to each person's needs. She encourages small, achievable changes that fit into everyday life.

Her background includes a recognised NCPS credential and several years working with diverse concerns. She draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method, choosing what suits each person. Claire explains options and works jointly with clients to set goals and priorities.

Sessions focus on building skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and reducing unhelpful patterns. Expect clear explanations of techniques, exercises to practise between meetings, and attention to what feels realistic for you. The aim is to make therapy useful and manageable alongside day-to-day responsibilities.

Claire welcomes people from different walks of life and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and asks people to complete a short questionnaire before starting so she can match the work to their situation.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve everyday functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may change as the therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, and let people meet from different locations, including international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and homework for remote sessions so the work still feels practical and usable in day-to-day life.
