Claire Kleiner, BACP

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works from a person-centred perspective to help clients move toward a more fulfilling life. She focuses on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore difficult experiences and begin to process the emotional impact of stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and other challenges. Claire has particular experience working with neurodivergent people and with members of the LGBTQ+ community, and she adapts her sessions to reflect each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

Claire aims to empower clients by listening attentively and offering nonjudgmental support that encourages self-discovery and growth. She emphasises collaboration, tailoring the pace and focus of therapy so that each session responds to what the client brings. Claire holds BACP membership, which indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a commitment to recognized professional standards.

Seeking change takes courage, and Claire offers steady encouragement as people take those first steps. Her practice is designed to support individuals through transitions, grief, identity questions, relationship concerns, and a wide range of life stresses, always with an emphasis on the client’s priorities and goals.

Person-Centred Support and Online Access

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers empathic listening, acceptance, and gentle guidance so individuals can explore feelings, make sense of difficult experiences, and find their own solutions. This approach is well suited to issues like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and identity questions.

Claire also adapts her person-centred practice for neurodivergent clients and for people in the LGBTQ+ community, tailoring communication style, pacing, and therapeutic focus to meet individual needs. That adapted approach supports clearer understanding and practical coping strategies while honouring each person’s identity and preferences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire works with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit best with a client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to keep continuity of care around work, family, or mobility constraints. These options help clients access therapeutic support from different locations and on schedules that suit their lives.
