About Claire
Claire Kuyper offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or big life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and non-judgemental so clients can say what they truly feel. Claire understands taking the first step can feel hard and aims to make that step easier.
Claire draws on 17 years of professional experience and uses a client-centred approach that puts each person’s priorities first. She also integrates ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and narrative and solution-focused methods when they suit a client’s goals. Conversations are shaped around what the client wants to achieve rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
In sessions Claire helps people work through grief, low self-esteem, depression and difficulties with motivation. She also supports people facing workplace stress, social anxiety, feelings of emptiness, relationship tensions and midlife or ageing transitions. Practical strategies and small steps are used alongside listening and reflection.
Claire explains things simply and checks in regularly to make sure the approach fits. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, manageable coping skills and practical next steps that fit everyday life. Her style is warm, patient and focused on the person in front of her.
To begin Claire asks people to describe their immediate concerns and what they hope will change. From there she and the client plan short-term goals and adjust the approach as progress is made.
How Claire’s approaches work in online therapy
Claire uses a client-centred approach that focuses on what matters to the person in front of her, working at the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression and stress. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult life stories and find new meaning in their experiences.Claire treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She listens to the client’s goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try together. The plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
The therapist biography does not list which session formats are offered, so check the booking details to confirm options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use breaks more efficiently. Claire aims to make each session practical and focused on steps that can be tried between meetings.
