Claire Exley, BACP

Claire Exley is a counsellor who has worked in the United Kingdom for three years and holds BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationships, family tensions, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation. Claire aims to make first steps feel manageable and offers calm, steady support as people begin to change their lives.

Her approach is person-centred and straightforward. Sessions revolve around listening carefully and following the pace a person needs. Claire tailors conversations and plans to fit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Claire often helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar mood concerns, alongside anger and sleep problems. She also works with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, codependency and separation. Practical day-to-day coping strategies are combined with space to talk about deeper feelings.

Clients who want help with career decisions, feelings of emptiness, isolation or life-purpose questions will find a practical focus in sessions. She also supports people dealing with end-of-life matters and grief linked to hospice care or bereavement. The work can include short-term problem solving or longer exploration, depending on need.

Claire conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. People interested in starting are asked to use the site process to match with her and arrange an initial appointment according to her schedule.

Person-centred work and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the pace set by the person. This approach helps with relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and life changes by creating space to make sense of feelings and choices.

That person-centred approach is practical and collaborative. The therapist and client work together to find the best way forward, discussing goals and adapting the style of sessions as needs become clearer. Finding the right fit is part of the process and will be revisited as work continues.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats can be better for shorter updates, while others suit deeper conversations where seeing each other matters more. Registered or accredited professionals can help choose the format that best matches a person's goals and practical needs.
