About Claire
Claire Roberts is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She lists stress, anxiety, mild depression, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation among the concerns she works with. Claire focuses on women's health and emotional wellbeing across the lifespan and aims to help people find practical ways forward.
She uses a pluralistic approach that mixes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred ideas and Psychodynamic work. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, making sense of past patterns, and building straightforward coping tools. Conversations are collaborative and aim to be practical rather than academic.
Claire supports people working through relationship and family problems, parenting strain, sleep difficulties, anger and issues around addiction and codependency. Additional areas she lists include attachment and personality-related concerns, body image, bereavement linked to cancer, caregiver stress and dissociation. She also notes work around career changes and coping with life adjustments.
Her style involves active dialogue and helping people shape a plan that fits their circumstances. She explains techniques, practices new ways of responding, and reviews progress together. Claire encourages people to set realistic steps and to notice small changes over time.
To begin, she asks prospective clients to use the service matching process and schedule an initial session. The first meeting typically looks at current struggles, immediate coping needs, and what someone hopes to address in ongoing sessions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Claire uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in ways that work well over online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which suits short practical exercises and agreed tasks between meetings. Client-Centred work emphasises listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions, which often involves guided conversation and reflective exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the mix of CBT or client-centred techniques as needed. This is a collaborative process where methods are reviewed and changed if they do not fit.
The practical advantage of online sessions is they can fit more easily into a busy week. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online appointments can make it simpler to have short check-ins, arrange sessions around work or caregiving, or use audio only when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan a format that suits everyday life and the work you want to do together.
