Claire Kleiner, BACP

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through difficult life moments. She works from the United Kingdom and aims to help people find clearer direction, greater self-understanding, and more satisfying day-to-day living.

Her core way of working focuses on listening without judgement and adapting sessions to what each person needs. That means conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, and pace is set by them. Claire highlights experience with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community and uses that knowledge to make sessions more accessible and respectful.

She has four years of practice and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as part of her professional grounding. Claire often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, parenting pressures, sleep problems, or life changes. She also supports people facing issues such as addiction, ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and ageing and geriatric concerns.

In a typical session Claire encourages open talk, reflection, and practical steps that feel doable between meetings. She keeps the focus on clients' goals and on building their own resources for coping. Sessions are tailored to fit each person’s circumstances and aims.

Claire invites anyone considering counselling to take a small first step. She asks you to think about what you most want from therapy and brings a warm, steady presence to the work of change.

Client-centred work online and what it looks like

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on a fixed set of techniques. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and helps the client find their own answers. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and the challenges that come with life transitions.

Claire tailors sessions to each person's needs, adapting how she uses person-centred principles to suit different concerns. She highlights experience with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community, and will work collaboratively to choose ways of meeting that fit the client’s goals and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Claire will help you decide together which ways of working feel most helpful, and she will adjust the focus as your needs change. That means you and the counsellor review progress and try different ways of working until you find what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as saving travel time, allowing quicker check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule around work and caregiving. Many people find that being able to meet from wherever suits them helps maintain continuity of care and keeps progress moving forward.
