Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She practices a client-centered approach that focuses on supporting individuals to explore their experiences, build self-understanding, and work toward more fulfilling ways of living. Claire adapts sessions to each person's needs, offering a supportive space to process challenging situations from the past or present.

She has considerable experience working with neurodivergent people and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and she aims to tailor the pace and structure of therapy to suit those specific needs. Claire holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Claire emphasizes empowerment and collaboration, helping clients take the steps they choose toward change. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, family and parenting difficulties, grief, self-esteem, sleeping problems, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Her practice is grounded in respect for each personâs individuality and the belief that seeking support is a courageous first step toward a more satisfying life.

Client-Centered Support Delivered Online

Claire practices client-centered therapy, a collaborative approach that prioritises the client's perspective. This method emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional acceptance, helping people explore their feelings and choices in a non-directive way. It is often used for issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Claire also brings experience supporting neurodivergent clients and LGBTQ+ individuals, adjusting session pace and communication to meet diverse needs. That practical focus helps create a therapeutic environment where people feel seen and respected while they work through specific concerns like trauma, parenting challenges, or intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Claire works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it possible to access therapy with flexibility. These options support scheduling around work, caregiving, or geographical constraints and allow clients to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for them.
