About Claire

Claire Carr works with people to manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger and self‑esteem problems using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is credentialed with NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She helps people who are coping with life changes and loss, and those dealing with panic, social anxiety and related worries. Claire also supports people facing workplace pressures, issues common to young adults, and concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. Language of sessions is English.

Claire believes the client is the expert on their own story and that people already hold strengths they can use to move forward. In sessions she listens to the person’s experience and works alongside them to identify practical steps. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that suit everyday life.

Her practical approach includes talking things through, setting short-term goals and trying techniques between sessions to test what helps. She uses methods that focus on current problems and on building coping skills rather than long theoretical discussion. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused.

Claire’s way of working is direct but respectful. She aims to make sessions clear and easy to understand, with simple suggestions people can put into practice. To start, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and then arranges a first appointment.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and current problems. One common approach is behavioural and cognitive work, which looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches techniques to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or panic. Another approach emphasises short-term, problem-focused work that helps people clarify goals, plan small steps and review what works in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss different methods with the person and agree on a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in appointments when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep up with weekly or fortnightly sessions without rearranging the whole day.
