Claire Reynolds

Claire Reynolds is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anger alongside related concerns such as stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make the first step feel manageable. Claire uses practical conversation to help people find clearer ways to respond when feelings run high.

Claire blends a client-centred approach with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. In sessions she listens first, and then helps clients try small changes that can alter unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Work often includes noticing triggers, practising different responses and building everyday coping strategies.

Her background includes four years of professional practice and membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That membership reflects her commitment to ongoing professional standards and ethical practice.

Claire supports people facing a wide range of difficulties, from grief and trauma to sleep and eating problems, addiction concerns and questions around intimacy. She also helps people navigating job changes, parenting pressures and the strain of caregiving.

Sessions are tailored to what each person needs and paced to fit readiness for change. The process aims to combine understanding with practical steps, so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.

How Claire’s approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a supportive, accepting space and helps people clarify their own goals and values. This approach can be useful when someone needs to feel heard and build confidence to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple strategies and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, anger and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose techniques that fit how you want to work. This collaborative process means plans can change as you learn what helps most.

The practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions around a busy week and keeping progress going when travel is difficult. Because session formats are not detailed in the biography, please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule and a good way to keep momentum between appointments.
