About Clair
Clair Atkinson is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of counselling experience plus a long nursing background. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and anger. She also supports people facing trauma, difficulties with intimacy, and challenges such as sleep or eating problems.
She uses a client-centred approach, which means she pays close attention to each person's own priorities. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people recognise their own strengths. Clair aims to help clients talk through feelings and make clearer choices rather than offering direct advice.
Her background includes a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy and many years as a registered nurse. That clinical experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style. She is used to helping people cope with chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer, and conditions that overlap with mental health concerns.
Common themes she supports include anger that shows up at work or home, attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. She also works with people on career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and Clair accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Clair’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The therapist helps people name feelings, consider options, and build on their own strengths. This approach can help with anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship or communication difficulties by keeping the client's priorities at the centre.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clair will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which way of working feels most useful. That collaborative process can adjust over time as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer quicker check-ins when needed. They can also allow for phone-only conversations if someone prefers not to use video, or for sessions that suit a quieter moment during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to suit remote work and practical life constraints.
