Clair Fulton , BACP, NCPS

Clair Fulton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and problems with self-esteem and identity. Clair works with life transitions, parenting pressures, career worries and compassion fatigue. She uses clear, respectful language and a calm presence to guide conversations.

Clair’s style is practical and person-centred. She treats the person, not a label, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small changes that can ease daily life. She blends client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful.

Her background includes five years of practice and roles in education and early intervention. She has worked with young people in school settings and supported staff in health and social care. She has experience with residential and foster care contexts and with those who have early life trauma and attachment issues.

Clair holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works with adult clients on a self-employed basis. She has delivered counselling training at a higher education college and continues to work both face to face and remotely. Sessions can be arranged by following the service's booking steps.

In therapy she aims to create a respectful space without judgement. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person. The focus is on practical steps, clearer understanding and building strengths over time.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting people to find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and make sense of their situation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that suit the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and choices can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or when internet bandwidth is low. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make it easier to have regular contact around work, family or other commitments and to try different formats to see what helps most.
