Claire Reynolds , BACP

Claire Reynolds is a registered psychotherapist who holds BACP accreditation, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space where people can bring difficult thoughts and feelings and begin to make sense of them.

Recognising that starting therapy can feel like a significant step, Claire works at a pace that suits each individual, helping clients to identify strengths, explore challenges, and consider changes they wish to make. Her approach is person-centred - the client remains at the heart of the work, and she aims to listen deeply so that people feel truly heard and understood.

She has supported clients with anxiety, stress, relationship and family challenges, addiction, intimacy issues, and related concerns. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, values, and goals, and Claire can draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when helpful to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.

Claire’s practice focuses on building resilience, greater clarity, and practical steps forward. Her current availability is Tuesday and Thursday 9-5pm, and she aims to walk alongside clients as they work toward more balance in their lives.

Person-centred and CBT approaches for online care

Claire uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s own perspective, values, and choices guide the work. This approach focuses on empathetic listening and helping people access their own resources to make meaningful changes, which can be helpful for issues like relationship stress, grief, and low self-esteem.

Claire also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. CBT can support people who are managing anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns by identifying and testing thinking styles and building new coping skills.

Deciding which approach or combination of approaches will help most is part of the therapeutic process. Claire works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to explore needs, goals, and preferences and to find the best fit for each person’s situation.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access therapy from home or elsewhere. These options can support continuity of care, allow sessions to fit around work and family commitments, and make it simpler to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
