About Claire

Claire Kleiner is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and addictions. She also supports those facing issues around identity, grief, intimacy and sleeping problems.

Her approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's own perspective and priorities. Claire listens for what matters most and helps people talk through difficult feelings and decisions. She has experience working with neurodivergent people and members of the LGBT community.

Sessions are adapted to each person's needs, with attention to life stage, communication style and practical goals. Claire aims to help people understand patterns that keep causing pain and to find ways to respond differently. Practical concerns such as parenting, work stress and caretaking are commonly addressed in straightforward conversation.

She has additional experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, avoidant personality traits, body image and chronic illness. Claire also works with people dealing with commitment and communication problems, divorce and blended family matters.

People typically start by describing the problem they want to change. From there Claire and the client set short-term steps and clearer aims. Sessions are conversational and task-focused when helpful, so people leave with concrete ideas to try between meetings.

How Client-Centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The therapist listens closely and follows the concerns the person brings. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship problems, grief and identity-related worries because it focuses on what matters to the individual.

Claire adapts Client-Centred methods to each person's way of communicating. That can mean a slower pace for someone who thinks differently, or direct practical steps for someone who wants actions to try between meetings. Finding the right way to work together is part of the process and will be decided together based on needs, goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or enabling sessions from a location that suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online conversations to help manage social anxiety and phobia-related concerns while keeping practicalities in mind.
