Clair Fulton, BACP, NCPS

Clair Fulton is a qualified and registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who works with both adults and young people. With five years of experience, she creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can explore thoughts, feelings and life experiences at their own pace. Clair works from an integrative perspective, adapting her methods to suit each person's needs while drawing on established approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools. She holds BACP, a leading UK body for counselling and psychotherapy, and NCPS, a recognised professional counselling registration.

Clair combines self-employed practice with roles in education and early intervention, working as a Counsellor in Education and Early Intervention with 11 to 25 year olds in schools, therapy rooms and online. She also contributes as a Counselling Tutor at a Higher Education College, training the next generation of counsellors. Her background includes several years supporting children and young people in residential and foster care, care leavers and the staff who work in health and social care settings.

She is experienced supporting people affected by early life trauma, attachment difficulties and behavioural or learning challenges, and she works frequently with adult students and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Common areas of focus include grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addictions and significant life changes, as well as intimacy and self-esteem concerns. Clair has completed additional training to support work with the skateboarding community. She describes the therapeutic role as a collaborative partnership and welcomes contact from anyone who feels they might be a good match.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Clair uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client is seen as the expert on their own life. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening and helping people clarify their feelings and goals, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress and unhelpful habits by identifying patterns and trying new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Clair works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her style as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy with Clair is available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy lives or limited local options. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity when routines change, and access registered professionals from different locations while keeping the focus on practical, effective support.
