About Claire
Claire Wilson welcomes people who want things to feel different in their life. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Claire works with stress, anxiety and depression and helps people untangle painful patterns and find steps forward.
Claire has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS. She uses Narrative ideas to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their choices. She also draws on attachment-focused thinking to look at how early relationships influence current patterns.
Background and approach
In sessions she mixes client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. That means you will be heard first, and then invited to try small, manageable changes. Motivational Interviewing shapes how she helps people find their own reasons to make changes.
Claire commonly supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and relationship concerns, and parenting stresses. She also works with people managing chronic pain or illness and those facing complex, overlapping problems such as co-morbidity or caregiver strain. Therapy is described as a conversation with room for curiosity and reflection.
Claire aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build new habits, and reconnect with a clearer sense of who they want to be.

How Claire's approaches work online
Claire often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach looks at the events and meanings that shape someone’s life and helps make space for different, more helpful stories.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds affect current patterns in relationships and emotional responses. That can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and find new ways of relating. Claire pairs these with client-centred listening so people feel heard before practical steps are suggested.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs. She frames this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
