Claire Kleiner , BACP

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who practices person-centered therapy with a focus on supporting people through life changes and difficult experiences. She creates a space where clients are encouraged to explore their feelings at their own pace, with the aim of helping them process past events and move toward a more fulfilling sense of self.

Drawing on experience working with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBTQ+ community, Claire adapts each session to the individual needs of the person she is supporting. Her approach emphasizes empathy, non-judgmental listening, and collaboration so that therapy is shaped around the client rather than following a fixed script.

Claire holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She frames the therapeutic relationship as a partnership, offering encouragement and practical support to help clients take the steps they want toward greater wellbeing and personal growth.

Person-Centered Support and Online Access

Claire uses client-centered therapy, a collaborative approach that puts the person's experience at the center of the work. This method focuses on empathic listening, acceptance, and creating an environment in which clients can explore feelings and make their own choices about change. It can be helpful for people navigating relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, identity questions, and other life stresses.

Because Claire adapts sessions to each individual's needs, she will work together with clients to determine whether client-centered work is the best fit or whether other strategies should be included. That collaborative process ensures the therapeutic approach aligns with the client's goals, preferences, and circumstances rather than imposing a predetermined path.

Online therapy with Claire can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations, reduce travel time, and allow sessions to fit around work, family, and other commitments, while still enabling meaningful therapeutic conversations with licensed professionals and therapists.
