About Claire
NCPS; 7 years' experience. Claire Jean Seymour works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career concerns, and has a focus on ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Claire uses conversational counselling that centres on what the client brings to sessions. She combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside client-centred and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas. In practice this means talk therapy alongside practical tools for coping, behaviour change and managing intense emotions.
Sessions aim to identify patterns that contribute to distress. She works with thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find manageable steps forward. There is attention to relationships and attachment styles when these affect mood or behaviour.
Her background includes seven years of professional experience and registration with NCPS. Claire works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted; check session options before booking.
Cost varies with location and sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, select the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Claire prefers a collaborative approach to deciding goals and methods with each person.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Claire commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire aims to agree on methods together, matching techniques to the client's goals and preferences. She will review what helps and adjust the approach as sessions progress so the plan reflects the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, travel or caregiving and can reduce time spent travelling. Some formats are better suited to short check-ins or phone-only conversations, while others work well for practice-based exercises that use video. Discuss practical arrangements when you arrange the first session to find a setup that fits everyday life.
