Claire Beaulieu , BACP

Claire Beaulieu is a qualified counsellor practicing in the United Kingdom who brings both professional training and personal experience of therapy to her work. She understands firsthand how being truly seen, heard, and understood can feel transformative, and she aims to offer that same attentive presence to anyone seeking support.

Claire recognises that personal therapy can be challenging and revealing, and she approaches sensitive topics with care and without judgment. By creating a trusted therapeutic relationship, she supports clients to explore experiences that cause pain, sadness, or embarrassment in a way that encourages genuine, lasting change.

Whether someone is looking to build resilience for life’s challenges or is curious about what therapy might reveal, Claire offers a compassionate space to begin that exploration. She emphasises flexibility rather than a one-size-fits-all model, working collaboratively to identify links, patterns, and themes that enhance self-understanding and open up possibilities for growth and greater choice.

Her approach is integrative, blending Person Centred work with Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy so that interventions can be tailored to each person’s needs. Claire will listen to each unique story, clarify therapy goals, and adapt her methods to meet clients where they are. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Claire uses several practical approaches that translate well to remote work. Person Centred therapy focuses on offering empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace - this approach can help with building self-awareness and emotional resilience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical coping strategies and skills.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and small, achievable steps toward them. It helps people who want focused, goal-oriented sessions to make changes and notice progress more quickly.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Claire will work together with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor the therapeutic approach accordingly. Therapists, including Claire, adapt methods over time as priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for engaging in therapeutic work.
