About Claire
Claire Carr is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes. Claire also supports those facing issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace pressures, young adult concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Claire believes people know their own stories and brings a practical, respectful approach to sessions. She helps clients name what feels heavy and untangle how past events or everyday pressures keep them stuck. Conversations focus on identifying strengths and clear steps clients can use between meetings.
In sessions Claire offers straightforward ways to manage intense feelings like panic or anger. She works through short-term strategies for coping, alongside exploring longer-term changes in thinking and behaviour. The emphasis is on small, manageable adjustments that fit into daily life.
Claire aims to help people build confidence and steady routines after loss or big changes. She listens for the patterns that fuel shame or guilt and helps clients test different ways of responding to those feelings. Practical tools and gradual exposure to feared situations are used where helpful.
Her style is direct and respectful, with an emphasis on collaboration. People can expect clear discussion of aims, simple coping techniques, and regular review of progress as therapy continues.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety, panic, anger and feelings of guilt or shame. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different ways of thinking. This helps reduce repetitive self-blame and shows alternative interpretations of events.Another useful approach involves graded exposure and behavioural experiments to reduce panic, social anxiety and avoidance. That means gently facing feared situations step by step and reviewing what happens, which can change how those situations feel over time.
Deciding on the best approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will pick methods that feel most workable. The choice of techniques is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays relevant.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins, or avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use online meetings to deliver the same practical tools and exercises they would in person, while adapting them to each person's schedule and needs.
