Claire Meyrick, NCPS

Claire Meyrick is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who combines client-centered, cognitive behavioural, and psychodynamic techniques to create therapy that fits each individual. She adapts methods to the needs and comfort of the person in front of her, drawing on different approaches to address the specific challenges a client brings. Claire holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional registration and training in counselling and psychotherapy.

In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgmental environment where clients can talk openly while she listens actively and helps make sense of feelings and patterns of behaviour. Her work emphasises collaboration - she treats clients as the expert in their own lives and helps them build on existing strengths to manage and move through difficulties.

Claire supports people with a wide range of emotional and personal concerns, including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress. She aims to help clients develop practical ways to cope and to increase their understanding of what drives their responses. Taking the first step to seek therapy can feel daunting, and Claire recognises that beginning this work is an important act of courage.

Approaches Claire Uses in Online Therapy

Claire often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on providing an accepting, empathetic space where the client guides the pace and topics of sessions. This approach supports people working through issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general life stress by building self-awareness and self-acceptance.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT tends to be practical and problem-focused, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Additionally, psychodynamic therapy can be offered to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present feelings and relationships, helping clients gain deeper insight when that is helpful.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claire works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust techniques as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to schedule consistent appointments, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access support from a registered professional without travel.
