About Claire

Claire Carr is a counsellor with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and anger. Claire also helps clients who want to build self-esteem, confidence and motivation.

Claire believes each person knows their own story best and that strengths already exist to help overcome hard times. She talks through what is happening now and looks for realistic steps a person can try between sessions. The aim is to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Her work often covers life changes and the feelings those bring. Claire has experience helping people who are learning to live with loss, and those facing workplace pressures or social anxiety. She also has experience with autism and Asperger Syndrome and with issues such as guilt and shame.

In sessions Claire offers steady support while encouraging practical coping skills. She focuses on what the person wants to achieve and adapts the pace to suit them. Claire explains options in plain language and helps people decide what to try next.

People who choose Claire can expect a calm, straightforward approach. She aims to help people feel more able to manage strong emotions and to move towards everyday changes that matter. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and book according to her availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and life changes. One commonly used approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic; it teaches step-by-step strategies to reduce the intensity of anxious moments and to build tolerance for difficult feelings. Another helpful approach targets anger and emotional regulation by identifying triggers, trying different responses, and practising new ways to respond when tension rises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will discuss your goals, listen to what has worked or not worked before, and suggest approaches to try together. The plan can change as you learn what fits, and she will support you to adapt methods to your everyday life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep momentum between meetings. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Many people find online work helpful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations, or when they need to avoid travel, and Claire will discuss practical arrangements that suit your routine.
