About Claire
BACP. 5 years' experience. Claire Thomas-Davis works with people dealing with family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She uses attachment-based approaches, client-centred work, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness and somatic methods to help people understand feelings and respond differently in relationships.
Claire speaks plain language in sessions and focuses on what is happening now alongside how past experiences affect present life. She helps people name emotions, notice bodily responses, and try new ways of communicating. Sessions are collaborative and aim to develop practical coping strategies for day-to-day life.
Her background includes five years of counselling practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That membership is shown here as the credential she holds.
People come to her for a range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, control problems, divorce and separation, and post-traumatic stress. Claire also works with issues around parenting transitions like pregnancy and childbirth, and with feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation and loneliness.
In sessions she may use mindfulness exercises, somatic awareness and emotionally-focused techniques to help people access feelings and regulate strong reactions. The focus is on making small changes that reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape feelings and patterns now. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and guides new ways of relating to others. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s experience in the session, giving time to talk and reflect so they can find their own answers. Emotionally-focused techniques help identify and work with core emotions to change distressing interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process can include combining elements of attachment work, client-centred listening and emotionally-focused exercises.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to continue work through life changes, while the counsellor helps shape the sessions to practical goals and daily routines.
