Clair Conway, BACP

Clair Conway is a registered counsellor and therapist based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She trained in person-centred therapy and also completed accredited training as a CBT coach practitioner along with training in acceptance and commitment therapy. Clair is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Clair works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and the practical and emotional challenges that come with life changes. She believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that everyone brings strengths that can support change. Her practice emphasises reflecting on perceptions, values and beliefs to better understand thought patterns and behaviours.

Clair approaches therapy as a collaborative process that asks for courage and commitment to pursue a more fulfilling life. She aims to listen, support and empower people as they take steps toward change, helping them build on existing strengths while exploring new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

Person-Centred, CBT and ACT for Online Support

Clair uses a blend of established therapeutic approaches tailored to each person's needs. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathy, active listening and supporting people to explore their feelings at their own pace - it helps with low mood, uncertainty and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action, which can be useful for long-term coping and meaning-making.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clair will work with each person to discuss what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences and the issues they bring, and she will adjust techniques as the work progresses to ensure the best therapeutic fit.

Online therapy with Clair is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments. These options make therapy more accessible for those who cannot attend in person and allow continuity of care across different life circumstances while maintaining the collaborative therapeutic relationship that supports meaningful change.
