About Claire

Claire Scarlett is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma. Claire also helps with family and relationship concerns, parenting strains and anger that affects daily life.

She focuses on practical conversation and clear tools rather than labels. Claire treats the person as the expert on their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on. That makes sessions straightforward and action-oriented instead of abstract.

Claire uses a mix of approaches to suit the client. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and emotional regulation.

Her work includes supporting people with neurodiversity, ADHD and social anxiety, plus separation and blended family issues. She also addresses grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and career stress.

Sessions aim to produce small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. Claire helps people test new ways of interacting and coping, then reviews what works. The emphasis is on realistic changes clients can use between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches Claire uses and online work

Claire commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and conflicts. This approach can help people understand why they respond strongly to partners, parents or close colleagues and where to try different responses.

She also draws on client-centred practice, which prioritises the client's perspective and pace. That method focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical behaviour changes that reduce stress and anger.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Claire will discuss options with each person and adjust methods to fit their goals and preferences. That discussion often happens across the first few sessions while planning what to try next.

If you want to work online, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins during a break, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter, focused contacts when schedules are tight, while others choose longer conversations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like mindfulness practice and CBT exercises to remote sessions, helping people apply techniques between meetings.
