About Claire

Claire Gillyon offers calm, steady support to people facing difficult changes and seeking greater self-awareness. She understands that asking for help takes courage and meets each person where they are, using empathy, patience, and a trusting therapeutic presence to help them find gentler ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

Her work focuses on creating space for reflection and practical change, helping people to land and make shifts at a pace that feels manageable. Claire aims to help clients increase insight, reduce overwhelm, and discover softer approaches to daily challenges.

She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her alignment with established professional standards and ongoing commitment to her practice.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Claire commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence; it can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, supporting emotional regulation and coping with overwhelming feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Claire works with each person to explore what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in how and when people connect with licensed professionals and therapists, supporting continuity of care and making it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions.
