About Claire
Claire Wilson NCPS is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people who are living with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with issues such as grief, parenting strains, ADHD and feelings of guilt and shame.
Claire focuses on helping people understand how their relationships - including the one with themselves - shape thoughts and behaviour. She talks through attachment patterns and how they influence emotional reactions. In sessions she looks at unhelpful thinking, coping habits, and ways to regulate intense feelings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and narrative thinking. This mix is used to surface repeated patterns and practice different ways of responding. Claire also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what they want to change and take small steps towards it.
Claire often works with people who have experienced trauma, including interpersonal trauma, domestic abuse, chronic illness and chronic pain. She offers practical ways to manage intrusive memories, overwhelm, and the long-term impact of stressful events. Therapy is described as a conversational process that invites curiosity and reflection.
Sessions include talking about values, relationships and the stories people tell about themselves. Claire supports developing skills for emotional regulation, clearer communication and changing repetitive cycles. She encourages clients to notice small shifts and to practice new responses between sessions.
How Claire uses different approaches in online sessions
Claire commonly draws on attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques when working online. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions; it can help when guilt or shame links back to important relationships. Client-centred listening focuses on being heard and understood, with the counsellor reflecting what the client says to help clarify thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thinking and practice small behavioural changes to reduce distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Claire will work collaboratively to decide which combination suits a person’s situation, goals and preferences. That conversation informs whether more exploration, practical skill-building or narrative work is the best next step.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments and practise skills between meetings when sessions fit into an ordinary week.
