About Claire

Claire Roberts is a Professionally Accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (NCPS) working in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career pressures and anger. Claire also addresses relationship and family concerns, addictions, sleep problems and compassion fatigue.

Her work is practical and collaborative. She listens to how problems show up in daily life and focuses on building useful coping tools. Sessions aim to clarify patterns, improve communication, and reduce the intensity of difficult feelings that come up at home or work.

Claire draws on several well-established approaches to shape sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the session focused on the person's priorities and immediate concerns. She also brings in Psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns that may affect relationships and mood.

People who come to Claire often want straightforward ways to manage anger, improve sleep, navigate bereavement, or regain motivation after a setback. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and control problems when these are part of the picture.

Practical change is a frequent aim. Claire helps clients set small, realistic goals and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Her style is interactive and respectful, and she supports people in finding clearer choices and steadier responses to stressful situations.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's concerns at the centre of each meeting. The counsellor follows the person's lead, checks what matters most, and helps prioritise what to work on next. This approach supports practical problem-solving for day-to-day issues like anger or sleep disruption.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT uses short, structured experiments and exercises to test new ways of reacting. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing strong emotional responses such as anger.

Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention skills to help reduce reactivity. Short, guided practices and grounding techniques can make it easier to notice triggers and choose different responses in stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and review what is useful as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the original profile, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support continuity when life is busy, helping people build steady routines for managing anger and stress.
