Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP, BACP

Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP offers calm, person-centred support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and life changes. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way to help people name what matters and make small, practical steps forward.

Claire believes most people have the resources to find answers within themselves. In sessions she listens closely and helps you notice patterns in feelings, relationships and behaviour. She does not give direct advice but guides conversations so clients can decide what feels right for them.

Her approach draws on attachment-focused ideas and emotionally-focused ways of working. This means Claire pays attention to how your early relationships and emotional responses affect your current life. She also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions based on your priorities and pace.

Claire has four years' experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works online and by phone from the United Kingdom and follows the BACP ethical framework in her practice.

Sessions can help with a wide range of concerns including depression, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, chronic pain and coping with illness. Claire also supports people dealing with attachment issues, loss, domestic violence, and other complex experiences.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Claire uses conversational, straightforward language and aims to make therapy feel like a manageable step rather than a medical test.

How Claire’s approaches work online and by phone

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can help bring those patterns into view so they become easier to change in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The counsellor offers attentive listening and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and make decisions that fit their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will decide which way of working feels most helpful and adapt that approach as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing reflection easier to fit into a busy day. These options let people choose what fits their schedule, energy and communication style.
