About Claire
Claire Kleiner is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns and a wide range of life challenges including grief and parenting. Claire also lists focus on intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Her approach is client-centred therapy, sometimes called person-centred work. Sessions focus on the person rather than a checklist of symptoms. Claire aims to listen and reflect what matters to each client so they can think through difficult feelings and choices.
She has experience supporting neurodivergent people and those from the LGBT community. She notes additional areas of attention such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family issues and communication problems. Claire also works with longer-term health and caregiving concerns including chronic pain and cancer related stresses.
In practice she adapts sessions to the needs of the person in front of her. That means she may slow the pace for someone who needs more time, or help organise practical steps for someone feeling overwhelmed. Sessions aim to make difficult emotions clearer and more manageable so clients can decide what to try next.
Claire provides services in English and accepts international clients. Booking uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time; clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely to what a person says and reflecting it back so they can find their own way forward. It is useful for issues like anxiety, relationship worries, shame and confusion about life choices because it gives space to make sense of hard feelings.Claire frames sessions around what the client brings rather than applying a fixed technique. She will work with the person to decide whether a slower exploratory pace or more practical planning is helpful. That choice is made together based on goals, needs and how a client prefers to work.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can be easier for people who find in-person appointments disruptive or who live a long way from services. Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how appointments will be scheduled and what to expect.
