About Claire
Claire Thomas-Davis is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people who feel stuck and who are carrying guilt and shame, or who are struggling with trauma, grief, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. Claire supports people dealing with major life changes such as divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth, and midlife shifts.
Her approach is practical and relational. Sessions focus on understanding how past attachments and difficult experiences affect current feelings and choices. Claire uses attachment-based ideas alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred ways of working to help people name and make sense of painful emotions.
She also draws on mindfulness and somatic techniques to help people notice how emotion shows up in the body. That can look like simple breathing practices, grounding exercises, or helping someone track physical sensations linked to guilt or shame. The work aims to make strong emotions easier to stay with and think about.
In session, Claire encourages straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what keeps people stuck. She helps people develop practical coping strategies and clearer communication habits. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than big promises.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How Claire’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions use talk and reflective exercises to spot patterns in relationships, which can help with guilt, shame and connection issues.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change unhelpful emotional responses in relationships. In remote sessions Claire would guide people to notice emotional triggers and practise new ways of responding to shame or hurt.
Mindfulness techniques involve present-moment attention to thoughts and body sensations. These can be taught and practised during sessions to help someone notice how guilt or shame feels and how it shifts over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the focus as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Many people find this helps maintain consistency while they try new ways of responding to difficult emotions.
