About Claire
Claire Lewis is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of post-qualification experience. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem. Claire also lists blended family issues among the areas she supports.
She describes herself as an integrative counsellor with a person-centred base. Her practice draws on psychodynamic ideas, Gestalt, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work. That mixture lets her adapt how sessions unfold to what the person needs that week.
Claire has spent four years working in an employee assistance programme offering short-term support across many difficulties. She has also worked for three years supporting neurodiverse university students in medium- to long-term work. This means she has experience with both brief problem-focused work and longer therapeutic partnerships.
In sessions she helps people talk through stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also works with family conflict, grief and issues affecting self-esteem and motivation. She has supported people dealing with abandonment, attachment challenges, autism and Asperger syndrome, and practical strains like caregiving stress.
Her approach is conversational and practical. People can expect to look at what is causing strain, try small changes in how they cope, and notice what shifts. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used online
Claire works from an integrative base and commonly draws on person-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. CBT techniques look at patterns of thought and behaviour to create small experiments that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses solution-focused methods to identify practical changes a person can try quickly. That approach is useful for specific problems like communication issues, co-parenting plans or managing stress during transitions in a blended household. Choosing an approach is collaborative and may change over time based on how useful the work feels.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online work helpful for fitting sessions into busy weeks, having shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists tailor the way they use these approaches to each person’s needs, goals and preferences.
