Claire Carr , NCPS

Claire Carr is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger or low self-esteem. Claire also helps those facing major life changes and people dealing with workplace pressures or issues common in young adulthood.

She approaches sessions believing each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the room. Claire aims to build on those strengths while offering practical ways to cope. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, with short-term strategies and longer-term ways to make life feel more manageable.

Claire has worked with concerns that include panic attacks, social anxiety and phobias, and feelings of guilt or shame. She has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum, including Asperger syndrome, with the particular challenges that can bring in daily life and relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and are billed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Claire aims to create a calm space for practical problem solving and emotional support as people work towards clearer goals.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach used helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and panic. Another approach focuses on developing coping skills for strong emotions like anger, grief or shame and on building everyday routines that improve confidence and motivation.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will explore your needs, goals and preferences together with you and adjust the approach as you go. That collaborative planning helps make sure the techniques match the issues you want to address and the pace that suits you.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to choose the contact style that feels most comfortable.
