Claire Beaulieu , BACP

Claire Beaulieu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She speaks English and offers sessions through video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Claire seeks to create a space where people feel listened to and understood while they talk about difficult feelings and life changes.

She understands that starting therapy can feel daunting. Conversations may touch on pain, shame or loss, and Claire aims to move at a pace that feels manageable. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing body image concerns, caregiver stress, fertility and ageing issues among other worries.

Claire uses an integrative approach that mixes person-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused brief methods. That mix is adapted to each person's needs rather than applied the same way to everyone. Sessions are shaped around the issues a person brings and the goals they want to work towards.

People who value calm, steady listening and practical ways to cope often find this style helpful. Claire aims to identify patterns and links in someone’s story and then work with them to build resilience and clearer choices. Her work is collaborative - she helps people explore options and try new strategies between sessions.

Therapy is delivered remotely using several formats so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort. Fees vary by location and are paid through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How evidence-based methods fit into online therapy

Claire uses an integrative mix that includes person-centred listening, psychodynamic reflection and cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred work focuses on attentive, non-judgemental listening to help someone feel heard and to clarify what they want to work on. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns and links in a person’s life story to understand recurring feelings and reactions. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer concrete tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and try behavioural experiments for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods and adjust the plan together. That means sessions can shift between exploring underlying themes and practising practical coping strategies depending on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever someone is based in the UK. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or a good fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or want ongoing written check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments.
