Claire Jones, BACP

Claire Jones is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She works with concerns around self-esteem, confidence, motivation, eating and food-related issues, and the practical and emotional challenges that come with different life stages such as midlife change. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, body image, isolation, social anxiety, and a range of women's issues.

Her dissertation focused on binge eating disorder, a subject she has researched in depth, informing her understanding of eating-related concerns. Claire encourages people to take an active role in their own lives, holding the view that each person is the expert on their own story and already has strengths that can be called on to meet and overcome difficult experiences. She offers a person-led approach that aims to help clients build confidence and find practical ways to cope with loss, change, and everyday stressors.

Having found personal benefit in therapy herself, Claire was inspired to train as a counsellor so she could support others making a difficult first step. She draws on that lived appreciation of courage and change to create an empathetic, collaborative environment where clients can explore their goals and move toward greater well-being.

Client-Centered Support and Online Therapy

Claire practices from a client-centered perspective, which means the work focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them identify their own goals and resources. It is often useful for issues such as anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

In addition, Claire uses a strengths-based stance that helps clients recognise and build on existing abilities and resilience. This way of working is practical for people dealing with transition, caregiving stress, body image concerns, or eating-related difficulties, because it highlights what is already working and how to extend it.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Claire treats it as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each person to determine which ways of working fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the style over time as those needs change.

Online therapy with Claire is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and make it easier to access support from different locations within the United Kingdom. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to provide consistent, focused care tailored to each client.
