Claire Jones , BACP

Claire Jones is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing grief, stress, anxiety, eating concerns and low self-esteem. She helps people cope with life changes and midlife transitions, and offers practical listening during difficult moments. Claire holds BACP which indicates her professional registration in the UK and she has three years of practice experience.

Her style is straightforward and person-centred. She treats people as the experts in their own stories and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear conversation, exploring feelings, and finding manageable steps forward rather than jargon or long exercises.

Claire has researched binge eating disorder for her dissertation and uses that knowledge to inform discussions about eating and body image. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, ageing concerns, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or loneliness. Her approach aims to make sense of patterns and to test small changes in daily life.

People can expect a calm, respectful presence and time to reflect on what matters most to them. Claire encourages clients to shape goals and to try out different ways of coping between sessions. She believes therapy is a collaborative process driven by the client’s priorities.

Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and are currently for people based in the United Kingdom only.

Client-centred approaches and online access

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and helps the client decide what matters most. This approach is useful for emotional concerns like grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions because it centres the client's own goals.

Claire draws on that person-centred mindset to help clients explore eating and body image concerns, midlife shifts and caregiver stress. She will work with each person to find which sticking points to address first and what practical steps to try. Deciding on the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client shape the path together based on needs, goals and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or changing schedules while still getting regular therapeutic support.
