About Quentin
Quentin St Clair is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 15 years of professional experience in the UK. He focuses on everyday problems that affect life at home, including stress, anxiety, relationships and parenting. He also works with people dealing with ADHD, addiction, grief and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar.
Quentin uses a client-centred way of working. He listens first and follows what the person wants to tackle. At the same time he offers structure and practical frameworks when that helps. Sessions often look at identity, core values and goals so change can happen outside the therapy room.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Solution-Focused ideas are also used to identify small, manageable steps forward. Existential ideas may come in when people are questioning meaning, purpose or major life shifts.
Quentin has worked with many adults who have ADHD and with people who identify as LGBT. He has experience supporting those affected by trauma, abandonment and adoption or foster care issues. He also helps with relationship communication problems and intimacy-related concerns.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations aim to clarify what matters and test out small changes. People leave with things to try between sessions and a clear sense of the next steps.
If someone is thinking about starting, the usual route is to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Quentin accepts clients from the UK and internationally and works in English.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. Online conversations can follow the same pattern - the counsellor mirrors concerns and helps the person choose priorities. This approach suits people who want to set the agenda and work at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests small changes. Online sessions can use practical exercises, thought records and short behavioural experiments to address anxiety, low mood and eating or sleeping difficulties.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what is already working. It is useful when people want concrete actions to try between sessions and quick ways to relieve daily pressures like parenting strain or work stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Quentin will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan with the client. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to use and how to adapt them for day-to-day life.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around family life and work. They can suit shorter check-ins, allow for video or audio choices if offered, and reduce travel time so people can use a break at work or an evening slot more easily.
