About Claire
Claire Kelly is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of counselling experience. She also brings previous experience as a bodyworker and holistic therapist spanning three decades. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, career matters and compassion fatigue.
Claire describes her approach as client-centred, so sessions focus on the person in front of her. She helps people talk through difficult events, strong emotions and life transitions. That includes losses, chronic illness, and the everyday strains of parenting or workplace stress.
Her background in bodywork and holistic practice informs how she notices connections between feelings, bodily reactions and behaviour. She aims to help people access their own sense of what matters and make decisions from there. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.
Claire also lists additional focus areas such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and blended family issues. She works with issues connected to abandonment, codependency, control and communication problems, as well as dissociation and chronic health concerns.
People who come to her can expect practical, down-to-earth conversation about what feels most pressing. She invites questions and explores small steps clients can try between sessions. The emphasis is on making manageable changes rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s perspective at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens with minimal direction and supports people to find their own answers; this helps with decision-making and emotional clarity.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with intense feelings in the moment. It is commonly used when people want to understand attachment needs, strong reactions or recurring patterns in close relationships.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to notice bodily sensations and thoughts without getting swept away by them. This can be useful for stress, anxiety and managing difficult memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest which methods to try. This is done collaboratively so the plan can be adjusted as sessions progress.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to help clients carry changes from the session into everyday life.
