About Claire
Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP offers calm, straightforward support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She is a counsellor who listens without judgement and helps people name what they are feeling. Claire works online and by phone so sessions can fit into a busy life.
She aims to help people find their own answers rather than give directives. Claire uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
She helps people talk through feelings about trauma, grief, addiction and relationship patterns. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on noticing small changes that make life easier. Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts with honours and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Claire follows the BACP ethical guidelines in her practice and carries professional insurance. She has four years of counselling experience working with a wide range of concerns. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Online and phone formats allow short check-ins, longer weekly sessions, or messaging when people prefer not to use video. Claire works with adults on issues such as grief, trauma and stress, as well as sleep, eating and addiction-related concerns. People who choose Claire often want a warm, patient counsellor who listens and asks thoughtful questions.
She helps clients identify what they want to change and supports them as they try new ways of coping. The focus is practical and rooted in each person's life and priorities.

Approaches Claire lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying core emotions and the needs beneath them. It helps people name painful feelings linked to trauma, loss or attachment issues and learn new ways of responding. Both approaches aim to strengthen emotional awareness and improve coping in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on emotional processing, exploring life meaning, or simply offering steady support and practical strategies.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and connection.
