About Claire

Claire Meyrick is a counsellor who bases her work on client-centred principles. She uses a straightforward, non-judgemental approach to help people talk through worries and make sense of difficult emotions. Claire holds the NCPS credential and works from the United Kingdom, offering practical support for everyday struggles.

Claire draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person she sees. She often uses client-centred listening alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based and psychodynamic perspectives also inform her thinking about patterns that repeat in relationships.

Sessions focus on what matters right now for the person in the room. Claire aims to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress and challenges around relationships, parenting and grief. She also supports those feeling drained by compassion fatigue and those facing career or life changes.

Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. Claire encourages clients to use their own strengths and to set small, realistic steps between sessions. She listens for what is working and what gets in the way, then adjusts the approach as needed.

Taking that first step can feel hard and Claire emphasises gentleness and respect throughout the process. People can expect clear conversation, practical ideas to try between sessions, and a focus on what they want to change next.

How Claire’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and find their own next steps when facing stress, relationship issues or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers simple ways to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, mood and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Claire will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the person's goals and comfort. This collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable from the start.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and short tasks so they work well in a remote setting, and Claire can help tailor practical homework that fits into a person’s routine.
