Claire Jones, BACP, NCPS

Claire uses a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them for online work. One common approach she draws on focuses on building coping skills and problem-solving for stress and anxiety. This involves learning short exercises and practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and manage panic symptoms.

Another strand emphasises emotional processing and self-compassion to address depression, grief and intimacy-related issues. Work here can include gentle exploration of difficult memories, recognising patterns and practicing new ways of relating to oneself. These methods suit people who want both understanding and practical steps to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Claire treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods based on what works for the individual. That means plans can change as needs evolve, with regular check-ins about progress.

Online therapy with Claire is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visible cues help, phone sessions work well when a quieter audio check-in is preferred, and messaging or live chat can fit brief updates or working around a busy schedule. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
