About Claire
Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She also supports clients facing relationship problems, depression, grief and intimacy-related difficulties. Claire works with issues such as sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem and career stress.
She is listed with NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom. Claire uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the conversation focused on each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She draws on somatic ideas to bring attention to bodily experience alongside thoughts and feelings. Cognitive approaches are used when practical tools are helpful to shift patterns of thinking and behaviour. Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to change.
Claire explains options and helps make a straightforward plan together. She aims for calm, direct conversations and simple strategies people can use between sessions. Over seven years of practice, Claire has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar conditions, compassion fatigue and chronic health stress.
She also supports people facing body image concerns, caregiver stress and bereavement. Her background includes Attachment-Based and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy influences alongside client-centred methods. Claire offers video, phone, live chat and text-based sessions for people in the UK and internationally.
Therapy fees vary with location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, the Start Therapy button leads to a short matching questionnaire and scheduling options.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Claire blends somatic-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred listening. Somatic-informed work brings attention to bodily sensations and helps people notice how stress shows up in the body, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma and chronic pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings remain, and it often helps with anxiety, depression and life changes. Client-centred therapy offers a non-judgemental space where the person's own pace and goals guide the therapy.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and work together with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative effort that can change over time as new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility about how and when to connect. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities and to continue therapy when travel or distance is a barrier. Many people find a mix of live talks and short written check-ins helps keep progress steady between sessions.
