About Claire

Claire Gallaugher offers steady, practical support for people facing relationship strain, family conflict and trauma. She specialises in issues such as intimacy concerns, anxiety, anger and parenting stress. Her approach is calm and respectful, aimed at helping people find clearer ways of coping and relating.

Claire has worked in the United Kingdom for 15 years and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She adapts sessions to each person, using familiar methods to suit the problem at hand.

Background and approach

This means conversations that are focused, paced to your needs, and directed at achievable changes. In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters most to you.

Cognitive behavioural tools are used where practical changes in thinking or behaviour can relieve symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Claire works with a wide range of life concerns including grief, addictions, body image and career worries. She also helps people manage compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, blended family issues and the aftermath of separation.

Her manner is straightforward and supportive when discussing difficult experiences. People meet Claire for one-to-one conversations by phone, video, live chat or messaging. She helps identify small, workable steps and checks progress as therapy continues.

If you want someone who listens and helps you find practical change, she aims to provide that steady support.

Online support

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how you relate and to practise new ways of connecting in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. In an online conversation this means the therapist follows your pace, reflects what matters to you and helps you clarify priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online formats suit homework tasks, tracking thoughts and trying behavioural experiments between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss different methods with you and decide together which fits your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as you see what helps most and new concerns emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a more conversational session, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat can help with short check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while still using attachment, client-centred and CBT techniques.
