Claire Gallaugher , BACP

Claire Gallaugher is a UK-credentialed therapist with more than 15 years of professional experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She works with each person respectfully and sensitively, shaping sessions and care plans to reflect individual needs and goals. Claire brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy and focuses on practical, client-centered work that helps people explore patterns, build healthier connections, and manage emotional distress.

Her practice emphasizes tailoring interventions to the unique circumstances of each client, whether the focus is on mending relationships, processing past trauma, improving communication, or addressing anxiety, stress, and grief. Claire holds the BACP credential - a recognition associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she draws on that training to offer evidence-informed support delivered with empathy and respect.

Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Claire aims to provide steady support through that process. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a client’s life and refers visitors to her business website for additional information about services and background. As she lives in Northern Ireland, client agreements are governed by Northern Ireland law and UK jurisdiction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Claire integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet a range of needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, helping clients who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or problems in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s experience, offering empathetic, non-directive support so people can find their own solutions and build self-understanding. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adjusts methods over time to best support progress. Clients participate actively in shaping the therapy plan so the work aligns with what matters most to them.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives and varied locations. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support without long commutes, and scheduling can be more flexible to fit work, family, or other commitments. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful, focused care through these channels while adapting interventions to suit remote formats and individual needs.
