About Claire
Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP offers calm, straightforward support for people wrestling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or major life changes. She greets each person with a listening, person-centred approach and helps them name what matters most. Sessions are offered online and by phone, and she aims to help clients find clearer ways forward at their own pace.
Claire uses an existential outlook alongside person-centred methods to help people consider meaning, choice and what matters to them.
Background and approach
She encourages honest conversation about feelings, decisions and difficult experiences. This can help when someone is facing loss, trauma, relationship difficulties or struggles with mood and motivation. Her work also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
That can be useful for people who notice repeating relationship problems or who find trust and closeness difficult. Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles inform sessions where emotions and connection are central topics. Claire holds a Bachelor of Arts with honours and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP.
She has four years of practice experience and follows the BACP ethical framework. She is DBS checked and carries professional insurance. Sessions take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist's schedule.

Online support
How Claire’s approaches work online
Claire combines existential thinking with person-centred and attachment-informed ideas to guide sessions. Existential therapy invites clients to talk about purpose, choice and the big questions that shape how they live; this can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about direction. Client-centred work focuses on hearing the person without judgement, allowing their own thoughts and feelings to emerge and shape each session.Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns or trust issues are present; these conversations look at how past connections influence current reactions and ways of relating. Claire treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will work with each person to decide which ideas fit their goals and adapt the way sessions are run as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation; phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit those with lower bandwidth; live chat and text work well for ongoing written check-ins or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, care responsibilities or travel.
