About Claire

Claire Kleynhans is a degree-qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She combines a range of therapeutic methods to support people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Claire also works with concerns such as body image, identity, codependency, family conflict, and the lasting effects of childhood or relational trauma.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring treatment plans to the individual needs and goals of the person in front of her. Claire aims to help clients reconnect with themselves, deepen self-awareness, and find practical ways forward when life feels overwhelming or directionless. Her style is collaborative and grounded in the belief that no problem is too big to address together.

Claire holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy. She encourages those taking the first steps toward therapy to recognise their courage, and she offers steady support to help people build a life they feel proud of.

Approaches that guide remote therapy and connection

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people explore attachment needs, repair relational wounds, and build more secure ways of relating, often benefiting those with abandonment or attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth. It supports people who want to deepen self-understanding, improve self-esteem, or navigate identity and relationship issues by making the therapeutic relationship a central resource. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns through structured interventions and skill-building.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Claire works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt methods over time to ensure the therapy remains helpful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from different locations and at times that suit a person’s schedule. Working remotely with licensed professionals and therapists allows for consistent, accessible care while keeping the focus on meaningful change and day-to-day wellbeing.
