About Claire
Claire Burton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, and helps them take practical steps towards feeling steadier. Claire works in plain language and focuses on what matters most to each person.
She helps people talk through family conflict and relationship concerns, including intimacy-related issues and anger. Claire also offers understanding around neurodiversity, such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and around sexual expression including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for those coping with panic attacks, dissociation, self-harm and the impacts of sexual assault and abuse. Sessions aim to be open and without judgement. Claire encourages people to describe what they are feeling and what they want to change.
Together they agree small, manageable steps and ways to cope between sessions. Claire works with young adults and people exploring identity, self-esteem or seasonal low mood. She is experienced in addressing ADHD-related challenges and supports people working on self-love and recovery from difficult experiences.
Sessions are offered in English. Her practice uses a subscription model for bookings. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.
This straightforward process helps match concerns to an appropriate therapist and plan a next step.

Online support
Choosing the best method is a collaborative process. Claire will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they shape an approach and adjust it over time to suit the person’s changing needs.
Online formats make this work flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging provide ongoing check-ins and a way to reflect in writing between sessions. These options help fit therapy around busy days and different life situations.
