Claire Kleiner , BACP

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She practises person-centred therapy, a collaborative approach that places the client's experience at the centre of the work and supports people as they explore feelings, identify personal strengths, and navigate difficult life events. Claire adapts sessions to each person's needs, offering a calm space to process past and present challenges and to consider new directions for growth.

She has considerable experience working with neurodivergent individuals and people in the LGBT community, and she tailors her therapeutic style to respond to each client’s background and preferences. Claire holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards in counselling. Seeking help can be a courageous first step toward greater well-being, and Claire aims to empower clients through attentive listening, empathy, and practical support as they work toward more fulfilling and balanced lives.

Client-Centered Care Delivered Remotely

Claire works using a client-centered approach, which focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. This approach encourages self-exploration, validation of feelings, and collaborative goal-setting, and it can help with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma responses, and challenges related to identity and neurodiversity.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Claire will discuss different ways of working and help determine the best fit based on the client’s needs, goals, and personal preferences, treating the process as a collaborative effort between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging - making it easier to arrange support around work, family, or other commitments. These options expand access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue when attending in person is difficult, helping clients maintain continuity of care and regular contact with their therapist.
