About Claire

Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Claire offers practical, conversational support and helps people make sense of what feels overwhelming.

She uses plain, goal-focused conversations to identify small, workable changes. Clients can expect a mix of talking and practical exercises that aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. Sessions are paced to suit each person and to keep things understandable.

Claire draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work. She explains ideas in everyday language and helps clients practice them between sessions. Where skills training helps, she introduces step-by-step exercises to try in daily life.

Her approach includes attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and to practical strategies for handling panic, avoidance or worry. She also supports people facing grief, sleep problems, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem issues and life changes. Claire works with LGBT concerns and long-term conditions alongside mental health issues.

Clients come away with clearer ways to cope and short, doable tasks to try between meetings. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and taking action towards personal values even when anxiety is present. It can help with persistent worry, avoidance and low motivation by encouraging small, value-led steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for panic, social anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating and can be useful for intimacy, trust and relationship worries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss options with each person and agree on methods based on their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make regular contact easier to sustain. If quieter surroundings, less bandwidth use or a shorter check-in would help, mention that when arranging sessions. The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking to ensure they suit your routine and needs.
