About Claire
Claire Kleiner is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She introduces a calm, accepting space and focuses on what matters to each person. Claire highlights sleep and rest among the concerns she addresses and aims to support clearer nights alongside day-to-day coping.
Claire tailors sessions to the person in front of her. She listens without judgement and follows the pace someone prefers. Practical concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression are common topics she will talk through with clients.
She has four years of counselling experience and works with people from diverse backgrounds. Claire regularly supports neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community, shaping sessions around the challenges they bring. She also addresses issues linked to parenting, ageing, adoption and foster care, and life changes.
Her approach centres on helping people find their own answers rather than imposing a fixed path. Sessions often focus on building self-esteem, managing anger, coping with trauma and abuse, and navigating intimacy-related concerns. Claire can also help with practical matters such as career stress, addiction-related questions, and coping with chronic illness.
Claire is based in the United Kingdom and carries the BACP credential, meaning she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match the work to their needs.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-centred therapy emphasises listening, warmth and following the client's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, asks gentle questions and helps you notice your own thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and sleep difficulties because it focuses on what you want to change.The same core idea applies when working online - the counsellor aims to understand your priorities and adapt the sessions to your needs. Claire will work with you to identify goals and experiment with ways to improve rest, manage stress or address relationship patterns. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process and she will suggest options based on your goals and preferences.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments.
