About Claire
Claire Coker-Beyer is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She helps people who struggle with low self-confidence, anxiety, relationship worries and anger. Claire works with issues tied to career pressure, body image, addictions and grief.
She uses an integrative style that draws on several approaches. In sessions she looks at present problems and how past experiences may be keeping the same patterns going. Conversations aim to spot recurring behaviours and thoughts, and then try different ways of responding to them.
Claire encourages self-acceptance and practical self-care. She also works with shame, self-criticism and impulsivity, and offers support around sexuality, gender dysphoria and issues that affect young adults. Where addiction or compulsive behaviours are involved, she helps people notice triggers and plan alternative responses.
Sessions are focused and conversational. Clients can expect to reflect on unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of thinking or acting, and set small goals between meetings. The therapist combines reflection with practical steps rather than long lectures.
Her clients include people coping with life changes, mood difficulties, obsessive thinking and intimacy concerns. Claire also supports those dealing with career stress, loneliness and the emotional impact of infidelity or jealousy. She offers daytime sessions at present and works in English only.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Existential work looks at the choices people make and what gives life meaning. It helps when frustration or anger feels tied to feeling stuck at work or in relationships. Jungian-influenced ideas focus on personal stories and inner symbols, which can help people understand recurring emotional patterns and strong reactions. Mindfulness approaches teach short practices for noticing thoughts and feelings without acting on them straight away. That can be useful for impulsivity, anxiety and anger so clients get space to choose a different response. Claire will talk with each person about which methods suit them and how to blend techniques from different approaches. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about the client's goals, past attempts and daily life, and then suggest a way forward. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed. Please confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, or choose phone sessions if they prefer not to be on camera.Areas of expertise
