About Claire

Claire Kleiner is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She uses person-centred methods to help people work through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression and other concerns. Claire mentions experience supporting neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community.

She focuses on practical conversation and steady pacing. Sessions typically centre on what the client brings and on developing clearer ways to cope. She listens for patterns that cause strain and helps people try different responses in everyday life.

Claire often works with issues that come up in blended households, such as merging routines, step-parenting worries and co-parenting tensions. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy matters, sleep problems, addiction and career stress. The aim is to reduce immediate pressure and build manageable steps forward.

Her approach is person-centred, which means the client sets the pace and goals. Claire offers straightforward feedback and helps clients reflect on choices and next steps. For neurodivergent clients and LGBT people she adapts how sessions run to fit communication needs and personal concerns.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the site button. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

Person-centred work online and what it looks like

Person-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens, reflects back what is said and supports people to set their own goals. This approach is useful for relationship strain, anxiety, depression and life changes where clients want to make practical shifts.

Claire also adapts the person-centred approach for neurodivergent clients and LGBT people by adjusting communication style and pacing. That means sessions may focus more on concrete strategies, clearer structure or slower processing when helpful. These adjustments aim to make dialogue easier and more useful for day-to-day problems such as blended household tensions or sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will check in about what helps and will agree the style and pace with each client. This is a collaborative process that may change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals who offer online work also use these practical benefits to help clients maintain continuity of care while managing everyday responsibilities.
