Claire Scarlett

Claire Scarlett is a counsellor credentialed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening, asking clear questions, and offering practical ways to move forward. Claire aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent or someone under pressure.

Claire often works with stress, anxiety, depression and the aftereffects of trauma. She also supports people facing relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, and big life changes. Anger and low self-esteem are addressed alongside issues such as grief, sleeping and eating problems, and career worries.

Her approach is straightforward and person-centred. Claire treats the client as the expert on their life and helps them identify strengths they already have. Conversations explore how past attachment patterns and current thoughts affect feelings and behaviour.

Claire draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking. She uses attachment-based and mindfulness ideas to help people feel more present and steady. She also brings an existential perspective when people want to look at meaning and values.

She has experience supporting neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and works with concerns such as social anxiety, blended family issues, divorce and young adult challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Claire accepts international clients; confirm session delivery options when booking.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Claire uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. This helps when anger, relationship stress or attachment issues make connecting hard. She also uses client-centred work, which focuses on the person in front of her and follows their pace and priorities to build trust and clarity.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are part of her toolkit for spotting patterns of thought that fuel difficult feelings and for practising new responses. These approaches suit people who want concrete tools to manage anxiety, mood and reactivity while also exploring personal values and meaning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. She helps clients try different ways of working and checks what feels most useful for their situation.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or childcare and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer brief check-ins when life is busy, while others choose longer sessions to work through deeper issues. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to slot into daily life and still allow focused work on anger, relationships and stress.
