About Claire

Claire Burton is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. Claire also helps with anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD and self-esteem struggles.

She keeps sessions straightforward and direct. Claire listens for patterns in how anger or anxiety shows up day to day. She helps clients name what leads to a flare-up and looks at small, practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be done next.

Her work will often involve talking through specific situations that provoke strong feelings. Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recognise thinking patterns and try alternative responses. She aims to make the process clear, so clients know what a session will involve.

Claire also supports people dealing with complex topics such as sexual assault and abuse, dissociation, panic attacks, personality disorder traits, seasonal affective disorder and self-harm. She will discuss how these concerns interact with anger or relationship difficulties and plan approaches accordingly.

Sessions are conducted in English and are set up through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled using the service's booking flow.

How Claire uses evidence-based approaches online

Claire draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on patterns of thinking and behaviour. Cognitive-style methods help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, which can reduce the intensity of anger or anxiety in everyday situations. These methods suit issues such as worry, panic attacks and rumination.

She also uses practical skills training to address emotional escalation. This involves identifying triggers, practising short coping actions and rehearsing different responses to common situations. That approach can help with relationship tensions, workplace frustration and repeated bouts of self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss options with each person and agree a way forward based on the individual's needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and checks in about what is and isn't working as therapy progresses.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking. The therapist arranges sessions through the platform's booking flow, and the service operates on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when life is busy.
