Claire Jones, BACP, NCPS

Claire Jones is a UK-based counsellor with five years of professional experience who offers approachable, practical support for people facing stressful or overwhelming life moments. She works from an integrative perspective, combining techniques to tailor therapy to each person's needs while drawing on a humanistic and holistic outlook that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Claire aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients are heard, valued and helped to build greater self-awareness, self-compassion and self-acceptance.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating recognised training and professional registration in counselling practice. Her background in the corporate world informs an understanding of workplace pressures and the practical demands of balancing career and wellbeing, and she uses that experience to help clients develop coping tools that work in everyday life.

Claire has supported people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and motivation challenges, and she also works with issues related to grief, trauma, addiction and family dynamics. Her approach is down to earth and collaborative - alongside exploring difficult feelings she offers practical strategies clients can use now and in the future. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Claire seeks to make the process as welcoming and straightforward as possible.

Integrative approaches and flexible online sessions

Claire uses integrative counselling to blend methods that suit each client's circumstances - this means sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, and techniques are chosen to address the presenting concern and the person's way of relating to it. The integrative stance supports work on thoughts, feelings and behaviours while remaining responsive to personal values and life context.

Alongside this, Claire draws on a humanistic and holistic model that places the client's experience at the centre of therapy. This approach encourages self-exploration, builds self-compassion and helps clients see how different areas of life interact - useful for relationship issues, identity questions and major life transitions.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Claire works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the client's needs, priorities and preferences.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, continuity of care across life changes and multiple ways for clients to communicate that suit different personalities and practical situations.
