Claire Jean Seymour, NCPS

Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people face a wide range of concerns. She supports those managing stress and anxiety, addiction issues, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and grief. Claire also works with clients dealing with body image, sleep problems, anger, ADHD and the strains of chronic illness. She is identified with living with health challenges as one of her focus areas.

Claire uses straightforward conversation to shape therapy around each person. She adapts sessions to what the client needs and prefers. Her style is respectful and compassionate, aiming to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Claire draws on several established approaches to guide sessions. She mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small steps that match their values. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to explore relationship patterns and feelings of loss or abandonment.

With seven years of experience and the NCPS credential listed, Claire combines practical tools with supportive listening. She pays attention to medical and caregiving strains when health problems are part of the story. This helps clients find ways to cope day to day.

People who choose Claire can expect a collaborative relationship. She invites clients to set goals together and to review progress as therapy continues. This keeps the work focused on what matters in everyday life.

How Claire’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with long-term health challenges by focusing on small meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can be applied to sleep, anger, mood and anxiety problems.

Claire combines those methods with attachment-informed listening and client-centred support. Together this means she listens for relationship patterns and helps people build skills that fit their life. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to try methods that suit their goals and preferences and adjust as needed.

The profile does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt exercises for video or phone conversations and suggest practical homework that slots into everyday routines.
