Claire Wilson, NCPS

Claire Wilson welcomes people who are feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed or unsure about their relationships and sense of self. She writes in a direct, calm way and aims to help people notice what they want to change and take small steps toward it.

Claire uses simple, practical conversation to help people spot patterns that keep causing pain. She listens for how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. Together with each person she looks at thoughts, habits and relationship styles so they can make clearer choices.

Her background includes four years working in therapeutic settings in the United Kingdom. Claire holds NCPS as a credential, and she blends several approaches to suit each person's needs rather than following one fixed method.

Sessions often focus on managing stress and anxiety, dealing with grief or loss, and improving intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people coping with trauma, chronic health challenges and the stress of caregiving. Practical techniques and reflective conversation are used alongside discussion of attachment and personal history.

Claire offers structured tools when helpful, such as ways to break unhelpful thinking patterns and steps to build emotional regulation. She also uses open-ended conversation to help people tell their story and find new meaning. The overall aim is to make change manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.

To begin, Claire encourages a straightforward first step so people can see if the fit feels right and what pace suits them. Her style is warm, direct and focused on practical progress.

How Claire's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It looks at patterns such as avoiding closeness or feeling overly dependent and helps people recognise and change those patterns in daily life.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre. This approach uses attentive listening and reflective conversation to help people find their own answers and build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replaces them with practical strategies. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing difficult day-to-day reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as the work progresses so that the sessions remain relevant and manageable.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want visual contact. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflections between sessions or days when typing feels easier than speaking.

These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities and health needs while still accessing the same therapeutic approaches used in person.
