Claire Reynolds, BACP

Claire Reynolds welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, uncertain or stuck. She aims to make first contact straightforward and calm. Claire says reaching out is a big step and she meets people with gentle listening and practical focus.

Claire works with a wide range of concerns. She helps people talk through anxiety, stress, relationship and family difficulties, addiction and intimacy issues. She also supports people facing grief, career changes, parenting strains, ADHD and body image worries among other challenges.

Her way of working is person-centred, which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Claire offers a warm, non-judgemental space and encourages people to lead where possible. She listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps clients spot patterns that they want to change.

She also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to help people test unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies. Sessions can include planning small experiments, trying new coping skills and practising different ways of thinking.

Claire has four years' experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and her work is conducted in English.

To begin, people are invited to use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Claire aims to pace work to each person's values and goals.

How Claire blends person-centred work and CBT online

Claire uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. This approach helps people feel heard and decide the pace and topics for sessions. It is useful when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of difficult feelings and choices.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, stress, low mood and problems like sleep or unhelpful habits by encouraging small behavioural experiments and clearer thinking.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Claire will work with each person to choose what fits their needs and goals, and she adjusts methods as work progresses. The decision about which tools to use is shaped by discussion and what feels most helpful in practice.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule meetings around childcare, work breaks or medical appointments. Please confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography.
