About Claire

Claire Jean Seymour works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and related concerns using a person-focused counselling style. She is registered with the NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Claire uses straightforward talking therapy to help people manage overwhelming feelings and difficult situations. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens to what matters to the client and then uses methods from several approaches to help people make changes that fit their life.

Her work includes support for grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. She also works with people facing bipolar-related challenges, ADHD, compassion fatigue and the stress of caregiving. Additional focus areas include body image, chronic illness and disability, communication problems and coping after disasters.

Claire draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. That mix allows for practical strategies, emotion-focused work and attention to relationships and attachment patterns.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Claire uses different approaches in online sessions

Claire commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and on choosing actions that align with personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which many people find useful for stress, sleep and mood problems.

She also uses attachment-based ideas and a client-centred manner to pay attention to how relationships affect current difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the work; the counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and may shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options when booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if that better fits a person's routine or technology limits.
