Clair Conway, BACP

Clair Conway is a registered counsellor and therapist based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional practice. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and combines person-centred training with accredited cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) coach practitioner training and training in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Her training in person-centred work emphasizes listening, empathy and helping people access their own strengths. CBT coaching focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms, while ACT supports people to clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Clair uses these evidence-based techniques to tailor support to each person she works with.

She has experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and the challenges of major life changes. Clair believes each person is the expert on their own story and that reflecting on perceptions, values and beliefs can deepen understanding and promote change. She offers a supportive, empowering approach aimed at helping people take the first courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Clair draws on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to support people online. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping individuals access their own resources and strengths, which can be especially helpful for building resilience during life changes or grief. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and improve coping. Acceptance and commitment approaches help people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven steps even when difficult feelings arise, a useful method for managing trauma responses or persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Clair works collaboratively to determine the best fit based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods as therapy progresses so that the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Clair is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without needing to travel, helping people maintain momentum in their therapeutic work.
