Claire Jones, BACP

Claire Jones is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life stages. She also supports those facing issues around self-esteem, eating concerns and confidence.

Claire uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the heart of the work. She believes people know their own story and have strengths to draw on. In sessions she listens closely and reflects what she hears to help clarify feelings and choices.

Her interest in eating concerns grew from academic research; her dissertation looked at binge eating disorder and she has continued to study that area. Claire also has experience supporting people through midlife transitions and challenges linked to ageing and geriatric issues.

With three years of professional practice, she aims to help people become more confident in making changes. Therapy conversations are paced to suit each person and focus on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings.

People who choose Claire can expect a warm, respectful space to talk things through. She encourages clients to take the lead in setting goals and deciding what progress looks like to them.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening, acceptance and helping the person lead the session. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so the client can make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. This approach can help with grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and changes across different life stages including midlife transitions.

Claire uses person-centred principles to tailor the work to each person's needs and goals. Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process, so she will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust the approach over time based on feedback and progress.

The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only sessions when video is difficult, while others like longer conversations on camera to deepen connection. Discussing practical preferences in the first meeting helps shape sessions that fit everyday routines.
