About Claire

Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges. She welcomes conversations about grief, self-esteem, career worries, sleep and eating difficulties, and ageing and geriatric issues. Claire uses a respectful and compassionate approach to work alongside people as they make changes.

She adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations are tailored and practical, with space to explore feelings and try new ways of coping. Claire draws on a mix of methods to help people notice patterns and practise different skills between sessions.

Her background includes seven years of professional experience and the NCPS credential. That experience has involved helping people with trauma, addictions and complex emotional difficulties. Claire aims to balance listening with useful, manageable suggestions people can use straight away.

Sessions are conversational and focused on the goals the client brings. The therapist encourages small steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. People are supported to build routines, handle setbacks, and develop clearer ways to act when things feel overwhelming.

She works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and timings to make sure they suit their circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Claire uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then focuses on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their priorities, goals and daily life. That means discussing what feels useful and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. It can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or evening appointments and may reduce time away from work or caregiving duties. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible ways of working, and Claire will help match a suitable rhythm and approach to your circumstances.
