About Claire
Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who uses a person-centred approach. She introduces sessions with warmth and straightforward listening, helping people name what feels hard and what they want to change. Claire uses her counselling experience to support people through difficult moments and life transitions.
Her style focuses on giving the client space to lead the conversation while she responds with empathy and practical reflection. Sessions are adapted to each person's needs rather than following one fixed plan. This makes her approach useful for worries that feel personal or complex, such as stress, anxiety or low mood.
Claire has worked with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community, and she tailors her approach to suit different backgrounds and identities. She also offers support around issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, abandonment and family-related challenges. Her work covers relationship difficulties, grief, addictions and changes tied to health or caregiving.
With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines practical listening with a calm, non-judgemental presence. People often come with concerns about sleep, parenting pressures, career stress or self-esteem, and sessions aim to make these problems easier to think about.
Claire welcomes conversations about what someone hopes to get from counselling. She helps people set small, achievable goals and checks progress as therapy continues. If you want a straightforward, person-led approach, she offers a clear place to begin.
How a person-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience by offering a listening, non-directive space. The therapist reflects what the person says, helps them explore feelings, and supports them to find their own solutions. This approach suits people facing stress, relationship issues, grief, identity questions or difficulties tied to adoption and foster care.Working out which approach fits best is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs and preferences and adjust the way sessions run over time. That means the method can change as someone makes progress or as different issues come up.
If you are considering online work, please confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. They also let people attend from elsewhere in the UK or from abroad, and the therapist can suggest practical ways to shape appointments to suit your routine.
