About Claire

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who works using a client-centred approach. She offers a calm, person-focused way of working that helps people talk through hard experiences and find their own solutions. Claire is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English.

She uses person-centred therapy to place the client at the heart of the process. Sessions aim to be collaborative and respectful, with Claire tailoring each meeting to the person's needs. This approach often helps with stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties by creating space to talk and reflect.

Claire has four years of practice experience and has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBT and neurodivergent clients. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, grief, body-image concerns and intimacy-related issues. Practical problems such as sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career worries and coping with life changes are also within her focus.

Her wider areas of interest include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, chronic illness and caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and communication or commitment difficulties. Claire also supports people facing cancer, ageing-related worries and separation or divorce.

Sessions are offered online in several formats so clients can choose what feels workable. Claire encourages people to take the first step and will tailor the pace and focus of therapy to each individual's goals.

Client-centred care online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person find their own way forward. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection, which can help with low mood, anxiety, relationship concerns and processing past hurt.

In sessions Claire tailors the pace and topics to what each person brings. She will work with clients to agree goals and try different ways of exploring issues, making adjustments as the work progresses. Deciding on a therapeutic approach is collaborative and part of the process rather than fixed at the start.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video calls are good when more face-to-face contact helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities or mobility needs.
