Claire Jones, BACP, NCPS

Claire Jones is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She practices with a warm, down-to-earth manner and aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. Claire presents a calm presence and focuses on helping clients feel heard and valued.

Claire uses an integrative approach, blending humanistic and holistic ideas so therapy can be shaped around each person. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build self-awareness, self-compassion and greater acceptance. She offers practical tools to help people cope in the moment and manage difficulties over time.

Her background includes several years working in corporate environments, which informs how she addresses workplace stress and career-related concerns. That experience also shapes strategies for making day-to-day life more manageable when demands feel heavy. Claire has worked with people facing depression, relationship problems, low confidence and motivation issues.

She also supports people dealing with longer term or complex challenges such as chronic pain, chronic illness and co-morbidity, as well as grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns. Claire includes attention to issues around sexuality, LGBT matters and intimacy where these are relevant to a person’s story.

With five years of professional experience and credentials listed as BACP and NCPS, Claire frames therapy around what matters to each person. To begin, she invites potential clients to take a first step and explore what they want to change or understand.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Claire works integratively, bringing together evidence-based techniques and a humanistic, person-centred sensibility. Integrative work means using different methods as needed, for example blending practical coping strategies with conversational work to make sense of difficult emotions and behaviours. This helps with issues like anxiety, depression and stress by offering both immediate tools and space to reflect.

Another common strand in her practice is a humanistic approach that treats the person as the expert in their own life. This focuses on building a trusting relationship, increasing self-awareness and supporting self-compassion, which can be helpful for grief, relationship concerns and chronic illness adjustment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Claire will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on a person’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust methods as needs change over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be more sustainable alongside work and family commitments.
