About Claire

Claire Jean Seymour is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Claire uses straightforward talking therapy to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. She listens to what matters most and adapts conversations to focus on everyday problems. That can mean working on boundaries, reducing reactivity, improving communication or developing routines to help with sleep and eating patterns.

Her approach draws on methods like cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to change unhelpful thought patterns and to increase what matters to the person. Attachment-based and client-centred work shape how she explores relationship patterns and emotional needs. Claire also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy for emotional regulation and coping skills.

In sessions she will co-operate with the client to set goals and try small, realistic steps between meetings. Practical exercises and short tools are often used so people can practise new habits outside sessions. The emphasis is on useful strategies rather than on labels or tests.

People come to Claire when they are fed up with snapping at those they care about, struggling with resentment, or finding anger gets in the way at work and home. She aims to help people find clearer ways to respond, so tension reduces and day-to-day life becomes easier.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Claire uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people recognise unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviours that follow. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with work-related frustration, anxiety and patterns that fuel anger.

She also draws from acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings without getting driven by them and to act in line with chosen values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect reactions and expectations in current relationships.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needs and preferences become clearer. The aim is to find a way of working that fits the person's life and priorities.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use practical handouts, breathing or grounding exercises and brief homework tasks that slot into everyday routines.
