About Claire
Drawing primarily on a person-centred approach, Claire focuses on helping clients reconnect with their own inner resources. She uses tailored counselling alongside hypnotherapy and relaxation techniques to address unhelpful patterns, support better sleep and reduce the impact of anxiety on daily life. Her background as a social worker informs a practical, trauma-aware way of working with children and adults who have experienced loss, abuse or other stressful life events.
Claire offers specialised work for anxiety, stress and insomnia, fears and phobias, confidence issues and neurodivergence, and she also addresses trauma, grief, relationship difficulties and family concerns. She combines therapeutic conversation, guided relaxation and meditation-based tools to help clients build resilience, gain greater control over symptoms and move toward meaningful personal goals.
Available to work with individuals who prefer counselling, hypnotherapy or a blend of both, Claire aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore change, develop coping strategies and take practical steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Claire Ashby draws on client-centred therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based practices to support change in an online setting. Client-centred therapy emphasises empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for growth, helping people explore feelings and personal goals at a comfortable pace. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to work with underlying patterns and habits, which can be helpful for anxiety, sleep difficulties and unhelpful behavioural cycles. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce rumination and support emotional regulation, useful for stress, worry and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claire works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time, combining conversational therapy, relaxation practices and skills-based work to fit what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, balance therapy with work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of support when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier. Registered professionals and therapists can effectively deliver these approaches online while tailoring contact style to each client’s comfort and schedule.
