About Claire
Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low mood. She also supports people dealing with grief, issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and the particular stresses that come with life changes. Claire lists LGBT among the areas she works with.
She practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.
Background and approach
Claire uses a straightforward, respectful style. Sessions are tailored to each person, with conversation and practical tasks set to match what matters to them. She describes her approach as sensitive and compassionate, and aims to make each session feel purposeful and calm.
Her work draws on several established ways of working including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ways of working, Client-Centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. That range allows her to combine techniques and ideas depending on what a client needs that week. With seven years of experience and the NCPS credential listed, Claire frames therapy as a collaborative process.
She helps people identify goals, try out new behaviours between sessions and notice what changes. People who reach out usually begin with a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The focus is on steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes, and on building skills that fit into everyday life.

How different approaches can work online
Claire commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred work in session. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based approaches look at patterns of relating and help people understand emotional needs and how they affect relationships. Client-Centred therapy puts the person's experience front and centre, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflective feedback to help clarify feelings and choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Claire will work collaboratively to find what fits each person's goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different methods as needed. The aim is to choose tools that feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist while living in a different country, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that the same therapeutic approaches translate well to remote sessions when practical adjustments are made.
