About Claire
Claire Tristram is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing addictions, eating and parenting challenges, anger, depression, and questions about life purpose.
Claire focuses on listening and helping people name what feels stuck. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at practical next steps rather than jargon. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and behaviour that keep people feeling stuck or isolated.
In sessions she helps clients explore thoughts and feelings, practise clearer communication, and try small changes to see what helps. She works with control issues and isolation by looking at everyday choices and how they affect mood and relationships. For people unsure about career or meaning, she helps them consider values and small experiments to test new directions.
Claire draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support change over time. She encourages short, concrete practices between sessions to build new habits. The work is collaborative - she and the client plan what to focus on and review progress as they go.
Her approach suits people who want candid, practical conversations about what comes next after a major life change. Claire accepts clients from the UK and internationally and conducts sessions in English.
How Claire uses evidence-based techniques online
Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and problems that repeat in relationships by practising different ways of responding and testing small behavioural shifts.Another approach she draws on emphasises improving communication and connection. This involves noticing interaction patterns, trying new ways of speaking and listening, and rehearsing short conversations to reduce conflict and increase closeness. These techniques suit concerns about intimacy, control issues, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the approach based on what is helping and what feels workable in daily life.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that suit a work lunch break or quieter times at home. Some formats work better for shorter check-ins or when video bandwidth is limited, so Claire will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
