About Claire

Claire Hill works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression. She also focuses on guilt and shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose. Claire is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Claire works in a way that recognises people know their own stories. She asks questions, listens for strengths, and helps people notice practical steps they can try between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what feels most pressing in everyday life.

Her approach is collaborative. Claire helps clients set small, achievable goals and reviews progress each time. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep causing distress and to build skills for managing difficult feelings.

Sessions offer space to talk about painful experiences such as abuse or trauma, and to work through relationship tensions and low mood. Claire also helps people dealing with guilt, shame or loneliness to develop clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

People who contact Claire usually start by describing the issue they want to change and what they hope to get from counselling. She then agrees a plan with the person and adjusts it as work progresses. This keeps sessions practical and focused on real-life outcomes.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with practical change and emotional understanding. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood; these approaches include simple exercises people can practise between sessions. Trauma-informed methods focus on pacing and safety when talking about distressing experiences, helping people process difficult memories in small steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire discusses options with each person and chooses methods together based on the person’s priorities and how they respond in early sessions. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted if something is not helping.

Confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work and family commitments, avoiding travel time, and making it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats are lighter on bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can make sessions easier to manage on busy days. Always check which formats Claire currently offers when you arrange a first appointment.
