About Claire
Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP offers calm, down-to-earth support for people facing anxiety, stress, phobias, grief or life change. She introduces a simple, person-centred way of working that helps clients notice what matters to them. Claire writes plainly and listens closely so conversations feel straightforward and focused.
She uses a person-centred approach to help people explore their thoughts and feelings without being told what to do. That usually means the client sets the pace and topics, and Claire reflects back to help bring clarity.
Background and approach
She combines this with attachment-focused work to look at how relationships shape current worries. Claire has four years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works online and by phone from the United Kingdom and follows the BACP ethical guidelines.
Sessions can cover a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and coping with life transitions. In sessions she aims to help people connect with their own values and choices. That can involve talking through difficult memories, working on emotional reactions, or finding small practical steps for daily life.
The tone is respectful and non-judgemental. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Claire asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Fees vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How Claire’s approaches work online
Claire uses person-centred counselling to create a space where the client leads the conversation. This approach helps people talk through what matters most and notice their own answers rather than being given instructions. It works well for stress, anxiety, grief and general life decisions.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings today. That can help when fears, phobias or relationship wounds keep repeating and causing distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used to locate strong emotions and help people name and process them in the moment.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and try out ways of working to see what fits best. She adapts the mix of person-centred, attachment and emotion-focused work to match the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you read tone and facial expression; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and to keep sessions going from different locations.
