Claire Reynolds, BACP

Claire Reynolds recognises that beginning therapy can feel like a significant step and that mixed emotions about reaching out are common. As a registered psychotherapist with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she offers a compassionate, attentive space where people can bring their experiences and be heard without judgment.

She has supported people through a variety of concerns, including anxiety, stress, relationship and family challenges, addiction, and intimacy issues. Working in a person-centred way, Claire places the individual at the heart of the therapeutic process, helping them explore thoughts and feelings while recognising personal strengths and resources.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s values, needs, and goals, and progress happens at a pace that feels manageable for the individual. Claire emphasises practical support alongside emotional understanding, aiming to build resilience and clarity as clients work toward the changes they want to make.

Her current availability is Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 5pm. Claire welcomes contact from those considering therapy and is ready to walk alongside people as they take that first step toward greater balance and well-being.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgmental environment where the person’s own perspective and pace guide the work. It is helpful for people who want to deepen self-understanding, strengthen self-esteem, or process emotions related to relationships and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It can be effective for addressing anxiety, stress, low mood, and routines that affect daily functioning by teaching concrete coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Claire will work with each person to explore which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the approach feels like a good fit.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or another convenient location, helping people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
