Claire Meyrick, NCPS

Claire Meyrick is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic approaches to tailor support to each individual. She adapts techniques from these traditions to suit what feels most appropriate and comfortable for the person in front of her, working collaboratively to make sense of the difficulties and find practical ways to manage them.

In sessions Claire offers a calm, non-judgmental space to talk, listens actively, and helps clients explore their feelings and behaviour patterns. She works from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own story and that many strengths already exist that can be drawn on during the therapeutic journey.

Claire has training and accreditation in person-centred counselling, CBT and psychodynamic therapy and holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training in counselling and psychotherapy. She supports people with a wide range of emotional and personal concerns including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress and life transitions.

Recognising that taking the first step can be challenging, Claire encourages and welcomes those who reach out, offering compassionate, practical support as they begin therapy.

Integrative approaches delivered through online therapy

Claire uses a blend of therapeutic approaches suited to each person’s needs. Client-centred therapy focuses on offering a respectful, empathic space where the client leads the pace and direction of change - it supports self-exploration, confidence and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns and feelings that stem from past experiences to increase self-understanding and shift long-standing relationship or emotional difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences and current circumstances, and may draw on elements from different modalities as the therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats to see what feels most comfortable, and access support without travel time, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who adapt their methods for remote delivery.
