Claire Kleiner, BACP

Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through difficult times. She works in the United Kingdom and draws on four years of practice to help clients talk through stress, anxiety and life changes. Claire keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her and on what they want to build for their life.

Her practice places emphasis on listening and on creating a steady, respectful space. Claire tailors sessions to each person, recognising differences in background, identity and neurodiversity. She has experience supporting people from the LGBTQ+ community and neurodivergent clients and adapts her pace and style accordingly.

Claire helps people work through grief, relationship concerns, trauma, depression and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports those managing chronic pain, illness and disability, as well as caregivers facing stress. Practical coping strategies and clear goal-setting are used alongside open conversation.

Sessions often focus on understanding patterns, improving communication and finding steps that fit daily life. Claire aims to help people increase confidence, manage overwhelming emotions and handle transitions like divorce, adoption-related matters, or career change. Her work is gentle but direct when needed.

People who meet with Claire can expect a collaborative process that centres their values and choices. She describes therapy as a partnership where progress comes from small, consistent changes and honest conversation.

Person-centred therapy and online support

Claire practises person-centred therapy, an approach that focuses on listening, empathy and meeting each person where they are. It helps people who feel stuck by encouraging self-understanding, building confidence and letting clients set the pace and direction of the work.

Her style is flexible for different concerns such as anxiety, grief, relationship issues, chronic illness and neurodiversity-related needs. The emphasis is on tailoring sessions to the person's preferences and goals so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claire works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful and will adjust techniques and pace as needs and goals change. This partnership helps people test what works and make steady changes that fit everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. It also provides flexibility for shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a particular routine, while keeping the focus on practical steps and honest conversation.
