Clair Fulton , BACP, NCPS

Clair Fulton is a UK-based, qualified and registered therapist who brings five years of professional experience to her work. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore thoughts, feelings and experiences, and she approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. Clair combines her practical skills and professional training to support clients as they work towards change and greater wellbeing, adapting her methods to suit individual needs as an integrative practitioner.

Clair holds BACP and NCPS registrations, which indicate recognised training and professional standing in counselling and psychotherapy. She is qualified to work with adults as well as children and young people, and she has extensive experience delivering therapy both face to face and remotely via video calls, telephone and live chat. In addition to her independent practice with adults, she works for a local authority as a Counsellor in Education and Early Intervention, supporting 11 to 25 year olds in school settings, therapy rooms and online, and she teaches counselling as a tutor at a Higher Education College.

Her background includes several years supporting children and young people in residential and foster care, care leavers, and staff in health and social care settings. She is experienced in working with early life trauma, attachment difficulties, behavioural and learning challenges, and a wide range of emotional concerns. Clair also supports adult students and people in the LGBTQIA+ community with issues such as grief, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction, and major life transitions. She has completed additional training to better serve members of the skateboarding community. Clair values the courage it takes to seek help and aims to accompany people compassionately on their journey toward growth.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online wellbeing

Clair draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, accepting environment where the client's perspective guides the work - this approach focuses on empathic listening, respect and helping people explore their own goals, which can be especially helpful for issues of identity, relationships and self-esteem. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour - CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, stress and difficulties with sleep or eating.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Clair works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person's needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss different options and adapt techniques over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Clair is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support into a busy life and to maintain continuity when in-person sessions are not possible. These flexible formats enable regular contact, allow people to work from familiar surroundings, and make it simpler to try different ways of engaging with therapy while keeping the focus on progress and wellbeing.
