Claire Kleiner, BACP

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people work through difficult times. She focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can explore their feelings and make changes at their own pace. Claire works from the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to her practice.

Her core method is Client-Centred Therapy, which places the client's experience at the centre of each session. That means conversations are guided by the client’s needs, not a fixed agenda. Claire adapts sessions to fit what each person brings and what they hope to achieve.

Claire has particular experience with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community, and she tailors her work to individual circumstances. She addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes.

She also works with additional themes such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and ageing and geriatric issues.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Claire aims to help clients feel empowered to make the changes they want. To begin, people follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to connect and arrange appointments.

How Claire uses Person-Centred Therapy online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and gentle reflection so the client can explore feelings and choices. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, identity questions and self-esteem work.

In sessions the counsellor follows the client's pace and priorities. That means Claire will listen first, ask questions that help clarify what matters to the client, and adapt sessions to meet specific needs. Together they decide which directions to try and how to measure progress in real life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will help clients decide whether person-centred therapy feels like the best fit, based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives by removing travel time and offering more flexible appointment options. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or quieter, less intensive sessions when that suits the client. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they match your schedule and practical needs.
