Claire Beaulieu

Claire Beaulieu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who invites people to talk about what matters to them. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. Claire aims to help people feel heard and understood in sessions and to support practical change over time.

She knows that starting therapy can feel hard and sometimes embarrassing. Conversations may touch on sadness, loss, worry or shame, and Claire helps people work through those feelings at a pace that feels right. She emphasises a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what is on their mind.

Claire uses an integrative style. She draws on person-centred principles, psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focussed brief work. These approaches are blended to suit each person rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Typical issues she addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as body image and eating and food-related issues, relationship communication, caregiver stress, fertility and other practical life struggles.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to identify patterns, build resilience and create clearer choices for the future. People who want to explore themselves, build coping skills and make gradual changes may find this a helpful way forward.

How Claire's approaches work in online counselling

Claire combines a few evidence-based approaches that people often find practical and straightforward. Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them feel seen and valued while they talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offer simple tools to change unhelpful patterns over time. Solution-focussed brief work concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what people want to be different, which can help when immediate coping strategies are needed.

Choosing the right approach is something Claire treats as a shared process. She will talk with the person about goals, what has helped before and what feels comfortable, then tailor methods to suit those needs. This collaborative way means the approach can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need less bandwidth for a call. Registered or accredited professionals like Claire can help people use online therapy in ways that support their goals and everyday routines.
