About Claire

Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. She works with people facing grief, low self-esteem, sleep and eating struggles, and challenges around intimacy and career. Claire uses straightforward language and a calm, respectful approach to make starting feel less daunting.

She combines practical methods and listening to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that can fit into everyday life. Claire uses approaches that encourage values-based action, understanding attachment patterns, and clear problem-solving skills.

With seven years of experience she tailors each conversation and plan to the individual. She aims to be warm and direct, helping people build tools for coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and long-term health or caregiving stress. The NCPS credential is listed as part of her professional details.

Her work often includes examining how past patterns affect current relationships and behaviour. This can involve looking at boundaries, communication problems, codependency, and control issues. Claire supports people dealing with abandonment, body-image concerns, chronic illness, and complex mood presentations.

She also helps with practical struggles like sleep, anger, and disruptive mood regulation. If you want a clear plan and steady support, she aims to offer that in a collaborative way. Confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

Approaches that address thoughts and daily habits

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when unhelpful thinking gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change routines that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs and preferences. Goals, daily routines and what feels manageable all shape the plan together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the online session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and can be more practical when quieter surroundings or less intense technology use are important. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools from ACT and CBT to online sessions so people can practise new habits between meetings and bring real-life problems into the work.
