Clair Fulton , BACP, NCPS

Clair Fulton is a qualified and registered therapist based in the United Kingdom, holding the credentials BACP and NCPS which indicate registration with professional counselling bodies. She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts, feelings and life experiences, working from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and that therapy is a collaborative process.

Clair works with both adults and young people, bringing experience of face-to-face and remote work through video calls, telephone and live chat. She currently practices as a self-employed therapist and also contributes to local authority services as a Counsellor in Education and Early Intervention, supporting 11–25 year olds in schools, therapy rooms and online. In addition, she is a Counselling Tutor at a higher education college, providing training to trainee counsellors.

Her background includes several years supporting children and young people in residential and foster care, care leavers and staff in health and social care settings. Clair is experienced in working with early life trauma, attachment issues, behavioural and learning difficulties, and she works with adult students and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. She supports people facing grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, significant life changes and a range of other concerns. More recently she has completed training to support people in the skateboarding community. Clair describes it as a privilege to accompany people on their journeys toward change and growth and is available to discuss how therapy might help achieve personal goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Clair Fulton

Clair works with Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused approach that emphasises empathy, active listening and respect for the client’s perspective. This approach supports individuals who want to explore identity, relationships, self-esteem and life transitions by offering a non-directive space to reflect and find their own solutions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools to change behaviours and emotional responses. CBT is often used to address problems such as anxiety, low mood, stress and difficulties with coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Clair works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt her way of working as therapy progresses.

Online therapy modalities including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility, allowing people to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These formats make it easier for clients to access support from different locations and at different times while still working with experienced licensed professionals and therapists to make meaningful progress.
