Claire Jones, BACP

Claire Jones BACP offers support for people facing grief, stress and anxiety. She helps with low self-esteem, managing life changes and concerns around eating. Claire writes plainly and aims to help people find practical steps they can use day to day. She encourages people to take the lead in their own lives while she listens and reflects what they say.

Claire has three years of professional experience working with adults on issues such as midlife transitions and motivation. Her dissertation researched binge eating disorder, and she draws on that study when she supports people with eating and body-image concerns. She also helps carers who are feeling overwhelmed by their role and the pressures that come with it.

Her approach is grounded in client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s own goals and pace. Claire uses listening, gentle questioning and reflection to help people notice strengths and options they might have missed. Conversations aim to be straightforward and relevant to everyday life.

People who choose Claire can expect short-term and longer-term work depending on what they need. She often helps with feelings of isolation, guilt, shame and purpose as well as communication problems and relationship stress. Her style is warm and encouraging while keeping the work practical.

Claire works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Claire’s client-centred approach works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what is said and helps the client set their own pace and goals. This approach often suits people dealing with grief, low confidence, life transitions and eating concerns because it starts from the person’s experience and values.

Claire’s research into binge eating informs how she talks about body image and eating issues in sessions. In practice she uses open questions and reflective listening to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She aims to work collaboratively, so choice of focus and pace are agreed together rather than imposed.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Claire will discuss which ways of working feel most helpful and adjust them as needs and goals change. This is a joint process where the client’s preferences and life situation shape the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
