Claire Kleiner, BACP

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on supporting people through change, challenge, and recovery. With four years of practice, she works from a client-centered approach that places the individual's experience and goals at the heart of each session. Claire is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards in counselling.

She has considerable experience working with neurodivergent clients and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and she adapts her methods to meet each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions are tailored to address a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma, depression, ADHD, grief, and many other life challenges listed among her specialties.

Claire approaches therapy as a collaborative process, encouraging clients to explore their strengths and work through difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. She aims to empower people to move toward a more satisfying and balanced life, offering calm, practical support as clients take steps toward change.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options

Claire practises client-centered therapy, a collaborative and empathetic approach that focuses on the client’s own perspective and capacity for growth. This method encourages open exploration of feelings and experiences while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support and reflection. It is well suited to issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, and challenges related to identity and neurodiversity.

As a registered professional, Claire works with each person to determine the best therapeutic pathway. She views the choice of approach as part of the therapeutic relationship and will discuss options and adjustments so that sessions align with the client’s goals, needs, and personal preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy with Claire is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from home, while allowing clients to choose how they communicate and participate in sessions. The online options can help people fit therapy into busy lives and reach a therapist who understands their specific concerns.
