Claire Roberts , NCPS

Claire Roberts is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on women’s health and emotional wellbeing, helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. Claire aims to help clients build coping skills, boost confidence and make practical changes that fit their lives.

Her work combines client-centred conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. She listens for patterns from the past and links them to present difficulties, while also offering clear, practical steps to try between sessions.

Claire supports people wrestling with relationship tensions, family problems, parenting strain and career pressures. She also addresses issues such as body image, addiction concerns, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. The overall aim is to strengthen a person’s sense of agency and voice as they navigate change.

Her manner is warm, respectful and non-judgemental. She works with clients to set goals and to test small changes that can make daily life easier. Claire explains ideas simply and checks in often to make sure the plan feels right.

People usually meet by talking through current worries, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, and trying out new ways of coping. Over time the focus may shift toward understanding deeper themes that shape feelings and behaviour.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions, which works well for matters like self-esteem, grief and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses simple, practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. Claire will discuss your priorities and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process means therapy can be adjusted as goals change over time.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are close to a face-to-face session and let visual cues guide the conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers to type rather than speak.

Many people find these options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver the same conversational work and practical exercises used in traditional sessions.
