About Clair

Clair Fulton is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS, practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She supports adults with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, addictions and blended family issues among other difficulties. Clair also works with people facing changes such as separation, parenting strain, or career crossroads.

Clair uses straightforward talking and listening to help people make sense of what they are feeling. She follows client-centred principles, putting the person's perspective first, and also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when they suit the issue at hand. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring thoughts and feelings.

Her background includes work in education and early intervention with 11–25 year olds, plus experience in residential and foster care settings and with care leavers. She has worked with adult students and members of the LGBT community, and has supported people affected by early life trauma, attachment difficulties and behavioural or learning challenges.

Clair has experience offering contact by video call, telephone and live chat, and she has worked both face to face and remotely. She combines clinical work with teaching, delivering counselling training to trainee counsellors at a higher education college.

People who come to Clair can expect clear conversation about practical steps and coping strategies. She invites an open discussion about goals and finds approaches that fit each person's situation and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Clair combines client-centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings, helping them clarify their own goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Clair will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the issue and the person. She adjusts the balance between talking, reflection and practical exercises based on what helps most.

The biography notes experience of video calls, telephone and live chat, but current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online contact to continue steady work on mood, anxiety, coping with life changes and stepfamily concerns without forcing a particular meeting style.
