About Claire

Claire Scarlett is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma. She also supports those coping with life changes and family conflicts, including issues that arise in blended households.

Claire believes people know important parts of their own story and that those strengths help them move forward. In sessions she listens without judging, and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations focus on practical steps the client can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. These methods are used flexibly depending on what someone needs.

Many people come with worries about parenting, separation, or negotiating new roles in a stepfamily. Claire helps people sort through those practical tensions and the feelings beneath them. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and priorities.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Claire encourages short, manageable goals and offers space to reflect and plan. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. In online conversations this can help people see why certain roles in a blended household trigger strong feelings and how to respond differently. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and the client's own priorities. Online meetings give space for the person to set the pace and decide what to work on during each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest whether attachment ideas, client-centred listening or CBT techniques might be most useful. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also make it simpler to attend from a quieter place or to choose sessions without being on camera if that helps someone focus.
