Claire Reynolds , BACP

Claire Reynolds is a BACP-accredited psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who offers a warm, person-centered approach to therapy. She creates a space where people can speak openly about the difficulties they face and work at a pace that feels manageable. Claire supports individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship and family challenges, addiction, and intimacy issues, helping them recognise strengths and take practical steps toward change.

Her practice is rooted in person-centered principles, emphasising a non-judgmental, empathetic way of listening that places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process. She also integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients explore patterns of thought and behaviour and develop skills to cope with day-to-day challenges. Every session is tailored to the client’s values, needs, and goals, with an emphasis on collaboration and building resilience.

Claire holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her professional membership within a UK counselling body. She regards the choice to seek help as an important act of courage and aims to accompany people through moments of change with compassion and clarity. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online therapy

Claire combines client-centered practice with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and acceptance, helping clients explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen relationships. It is useful for those seeking a compassionate space to process life changes, grief, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop new strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT offers tools for coping with day-to-day challenges and for making gradual, measurable changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claire works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so that therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists, even when schedules or circumstances change.
