Claire Bennett BA (hons) MBACP is a person-centred therapist working from a counselling studio at home in Gosport, England, and offering sessions online and by phone.

Her work focuses on helping clients identify and understand their own needs and wants, and on supporting them to find a way forward. She does not give directive advice or tell clients what to do; instead she works collaboratively to help people access their own insights and to acknowledge what they truly feel, so they can become the person they deserve to be.

Claire aims to create a supportive space where thoughts and emotions can be explored and where clients are accompanied through difficult moments and transitions. She is DBS checked, fully insured, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - holding membership number 393095. Her BA (hons) indicates an undergraduate degree, and the MBACP designation denotes her membership of the BACP. She practices in line with the BACP ethical guidelines.

Combining Person-Centred, Attachment, and Emotion-Focused Work Online

Claire Bennett draws on client-centred principles, attachment-based ideas, and elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Client-centred therapy emphasises an accepting, non-directive stance where the therapist listens deeply and supports clients to discover their own solutions - it is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and emotional clarity. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current responses and connection needs - it can be useful for those struggling with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, or attachment-related distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with core emotions to transform painful patterns in relationships and personal coping - it is often used when emotion processing and relational bonds are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claire works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client discuss options and adjust the work as understanding deepens so the therapy reflects what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or via text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and access needs. These options allow clients to engage with licensed professionals and therapists from their chosen location, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
