About Claire

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through hard times. She works from the idea that the client knows their own life best and that therapy is a space to be heard and understood. Claire aims to help people become clearer about what they want and to take steady steps towards change.

She tailors sessions to each person's needs. Claire has experience supporting neurodivergent people and members of the LGBT community.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters most and adapts the pace and style of sessions so they fit the individual. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep difficulties and addiction-related worries.

Practical topics such as parenting strain, career changes and coping with life transitions are part of her practice too. Claire also supports people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and the impact of chronic illness or caring responsibilities. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and to find workable steps forward.

Based in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - Claire works online using video, phone, live chat and text messaging. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping people feel more able to manage day-to-day challenges.

Ways of working Claire names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s lead. This approach suits people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles and many life changes because it focuses on understanding and empathy rather than a set formula.

Claire adapts this way of working to the online setting. She aims to help clients identify their goals and to choose the pace and forms of contact that suit them. Deciding which approach feels right is a shared process; she works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text and live chat suit shorter check-ins, mood tracking and people who find writing helps them express themselves.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity when circumstances change, and to choose the format that helps someone engage most effectively with the work.
