About Claire
Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor registered with NCPS with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports adults coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Claire also addresses concerns linked to family matters, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem.
Her approach is direct and practical. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy among others. Sessions focus on clear talk about what is troubling you and steps you can try between meetings. Claire adapts the pace to each person and pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating.
Clients can expect a counsellor who listens and helps sort out priorities. Conversations commonly include looking at thoughts and behaviours, learning new coping skills, and practising small experiments to test change. Emotional reactions and attachment patterns are also part of the work when they help explain current difficulties.
Claire has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns beyond the headline issues. These include ADHD, bipolar experiences, caregiver strain, chronic illness and long-term grief. She also works with topics such as body image, codependency and adjustment after disasters.
She accepts international clients and runs sessions for people living in the United Kingdom. Before booking, people should check which session formats are currently offered and how the subscription system applies to their location.
How sessions work
How Claire uses talking therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that fit personal values and can help with anxiety, low mood and problems that recur over time.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into smaller steps and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for stress, sleep troubles and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree on which methods to try. This is a collaborative choice and can change as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions are often useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, allowing shorter check-ins, or avoiding travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan timing and structure so sessions fit around parenting, work or caregiving responsibilities.
