Claire Meyrick, NCPS

Claire Meyrick uses an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred work alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. Claire holds NCPS and brings four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

Sessions begin with listening. Claire offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is troubling them. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life and helps to build on existing strengths.

People often come for help with stress, anxiety and low mood. Claire also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strains, anger and career concerns. She helps people break unhelpful patterns and find practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges.

Her work blends short-term, goal-focused techniques with deeper exploration of past experiences and attachment patterns. That mix means sessions can address an immediate problem and also look at longer-term shifts in thinking or behaviour.

Claire aims to work at a pace that suits each person. She helps set clear, realistic goals and reviews progress regularly. The emphasis is practical - finding steps that can be tried between sessions and adjusted as needed.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early experiences shape how people relate now and helps to build more secure ways of connecting and coping with loss or conflict. Client-centred therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental listening stance. The therapist follows the person's agenda, reflecting feelings and helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and structured; it helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tries out new responses to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss different methods and together they will decide which fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means therapy can change over time as new priorities emerge.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, while phone sessions reduce the need for video and can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, day-to-day support or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
