Claire Tristram

Claire Tristram welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress or anxiety and want practical help to feel steadier. She is a counsellor with BACP registration and 15 years of professional experience. Claire aims to make the first step easier with a calm, straightforward approach that focuses on what matters to each person.

She creates a space for clients to talk through difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Claire helps people name patterns that feed anger and stress, and then works with them to try different ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and down to earth, with a focus on small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.

Her background is in the UK counselling field and she has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, eating and parenting matters. She also supports people facing loneliness, control issues, or questions about life purpose.

Claire encourages practical steps alongside reflection. That might mean trying new communication habits, spotting triggers, or building steadier routines. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and goals, rather than a fixed timetable.

People who value a compassionate, straightforward counsellor often find her approach helpful. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Approach choices and online counselling

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage strong emotions and improve relationships. One common approach she draws on helps people spot and understand triggers for anger and stress, then practise alternative responses to reduce reactivity and tension. Another approach she uses focuses on communication skills - learning clearer, calmer ways to express needs and set boundaries in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their goals, preferences and life situation. She adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant and practical for the individual.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins between appointments or to maintain continuity when routines change. As formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know what will suit your schedule and needs.
