About Claire
Claire Lewis is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years post-qualification experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. Claire also lists additional focus areas such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and isolation or loneliness.
Claire uses an integrative approach with a base in person-centred work. She combines elements from psychodynamic, Gestalt, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods. That mix allows sessions to shift between exploring early patterns and trying practical steps for day-to-day problems.
She has spent four years working within an employee assistance programme offering short-term help to people with a range of difficulties. For the past three years Claire has also provided medium to long-term emotional support to neurodiverse university students, and she has experience offering longer-term work where needed.
In a typical session she listens to what matters most and then suggests small, practical ways to manage stress and anxiety. Claire helps people talk through relationship issues, family conflicts, grief and struggles with confidence in plain language. She explains techniques and practices so they can be used between sessions.
New clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How Claire uses different approaches in online work
Claire draws on a few evidence-based ways of working to help with anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce worry and avoidant behaviour. Person-centred work concentrates on listening closely and helping a person identify what matters to them, which can help build confidence and clarity. She also uses solution-focused techniques that aim to find small, achievable steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire discusses options with each person and they decide together which methods to try first. This collaborative process looks at the client’s goals, what has helped before, and practical constraints such as time and energy.
