About Claire

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through life’s hard moments. She works in the United Kingdom and offers a calm, respectful space to talk about worries and hopes. Claire aims to help people feel more confident and able to make changes that matter to them.

Her work focuses on listening closely and tailoring sessions to each person. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Other areas she addresses include trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, sleep problems and intimacy-related issues.

Claire also supports people dealing with ADHD, self-esteem struggles and career pressures. She has experience with neurodivergent clients and people in the LGBT community, and adapts her approach to suit individual needs. She will work at a pace that feels right for the person in front of her.

With four years of practice and BACP registration, Claire brings steady, person-centred care to sessions. She focuses on helping people process difficult experiences and discover practical ways to cope. That might mean talking through feelings, spotting small patterns, and practising new ways of responding.

If someone is facing life changes such as separation, adoption or caregiving strain, Claire offers a supportive place to work through those challenges. She encourages hopeful steps and helps people find their own solutions.

How client-centred counselling adapts to online work

Client-centred therapy places the person and their needs at the heart of each session. It focuses on careful listening, empathy and giving people space to explore feelings. This approach helps when dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life changes because the therapist follows the person’s lead and adapts to what they say.

Claire emphasises tailoring sessions to fit each individual. She works collaboratively to decide goals and the best way to work. Together they review progress and adjust the approach as needs and preferences change, making the process flexible and person-focused.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular contact while juggling work, childcare or other commitments. The original biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors often offer a variety of ways to connect, and Claire will help find what fits best for the person’s situation and goals.
