Claire Jones

Claire Jones is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life. She also works with concerns about self esteem, confidence and eating. Claire has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, based in the United Kingdom.

Claire uses a straightforward, person-led style in sessions. She believes people know their own story and helps them notice strengths they can use. Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building confidence. Sessions are aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.

Her interest in eating and food-related issues grew from her dissertation research on binge eating disorder. That research informs how she talks about body image, eating patterns and shame without judgement. Claire combines listening with gentle prompts to try new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

She also supports people navigating midlife transitions, caregiving stress and loneliness. Work with Claire often includes setting small goals, practising new communication habits and looking at what values matter most. The pace is set by each person’s needs.

Claire trained and works within the framework of Client-Centred Therapy. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and be heard. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Client-Centred work and online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without directing, reflecting back what is said and helping people become clearer about their goals. This approach can help with anxiety, low self esteem and life transitions by building self-awareness and confidence.

Claire’s research on eating behaviour also shapes how she talks about food and body image in sessions. She uses gentle questioning and reflective listening to help someone notice unhelpful patterns and consider small changes. This can be useful for someone wanting to understand bingeing, shame around eating or how body image affects daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claire works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful for each person, adjusting style and pace as goals become clearer. The focus is on working together to suit individual needs and preferences.

Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also suit shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions depending on what someone needs.
