Claire Jones , BACP

Claire Jones is a United Kingdom based counsellor with three years of professional experience and a BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, and life changes, and she has particular experience supporting those coping with grief, loss, and midlife transitions.

Her work also addresses issues around self-esteem, motivation, confidence, and eating and food-related concerns. Claire researched binge eating disorder for her dissertation and has a strong interest in eating-related issues and body image. She brings that focused knowledge into work with clients who are managing disordered eating patterns or related distress.

Claire takes a person-centered stance, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and has strengths to draw on when facing challenges. She is passionate about helping people become the drivers of their own lives, guiding them to identify and use their resources. Claire's own experience of gaining from therapy inspired her to train as a counsellor so she could support others through similar journeys.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, with the therapist offering empathic listening, validation, and support while following the client’s lead. This approach helps people exploring grief, self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional challenges to feel heard and to build their own solutions.

Claire's person-led style emphasizes respect for each individual's pace and perspective, helping clients reclaim agency over decisions and direction in their lives. Together with the client she will explore goals and preferences and adapt the way she works to fit what the client needs and hopes to achieve, making the process collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy with Claire can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, and they allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for talking through emotional concerns and practical life issues.
