About Claire
Claire Cowper is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings four years of professional experience to her practice.
She focuses on clear, respectful conversation and tailors sessions to what each person needs. That can mean listening deeply, helping someone spot unhelpful thinking patterns, or gently looking at long-standing family dynamics. The aim is practical change that fits into everyday life rather than complicated jargon.
Claire also works with issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, and codependency concerns. She offers support around communication and control issues, separation and divorce, eating-related problems, and fatherhood issues when those topics arise in individual work.
Her approach is collaborative. Sessions are shaped around a person’s goals and pace. Claire emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion while helping people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to Claire’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that suit a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Confirm the exact session options available before booking to ensure they fit your routine, as formats are arranged according to the therapist's current practice and availability.
