Claire Jones, BACP

Claire Jones is a United Kingdom-based therapist with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. The BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She works with people across a range of emotional and life challenges, bringing a compassionate, client-centered approach to each session.

Claire has practical experience supporting clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, and managing major life changes such as midlife transitions. She also focuses on motivation, self-esteem and confidence building, and has undertaken significant research into binge eating disorder as the topic of her dissertation. That research informs her understanding of eating and food-related issues and related concerns such as body image.

Her additional areas of focus include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose and self-love. Claire believes people are the experts of their own stories and aims to empower clients to take the lead in shaping the changes they want. Having personally experienced the benefits of therapy, she chose to train as a counsellor to support others on their journeys.

Client-Centered Therapy and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-directive relationship in which the therapist listens closely and reflects the client’s experience back to them. This approach supports self-exploration and helps people build confidence, clarify values, and find their own solutions to issues such as grief, anxiety, low self-worth and life transitions.

Claire approaches therapy collaboratively, working with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt the work over time so the approach fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits. These options allow clients to access regular support from registered professionals and therapists without needing to travel, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
