    About Claire

    Claire Roberts is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside humanistic and cognitive approaches. She holds NCPS and has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. Claire aims to help people find motivation, build confidence and move forward from difficult moments.

    She focuses on stress, anxiety and depression, and also supports people coping with grief and loss. Claire helps with low self-esteem, motivation, sleep problems and life changes. Addictions, anger and compassion fatigue are additional areas she addresses.

    Her way of working is warm and interactive. Sessions are collaborative - Claire listens, reflects and helps clients set small, achievable steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, and on Client-Centred ideas to keep the person’s priorities central.

    Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that repeat over time. Mindfulness practices are included to help with grounding and managing stress. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen reasons for change.

    Claire describes her approach as pluralistic and tailored. She works with each person to shape the conversation and practical tools that fit their life. To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

  2. How Claire’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Claire uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen reasons to change, guiding them through ambivalence in clear, practical steps. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person’s priorities at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening actively and following the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduces small experiments and practical strategies to try between meetings.

    Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Claire will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods best matches their goals, preferences and situation. That choice can be revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.

    Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life by cutting travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join sessions from wherever they are based in the UK, which helps keep consistency when schedules are busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises for remote sessions so practical work continues between meetings.
