About Claire
Claire Tristram is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, addictions, eating problems, parenting pressures and anger. She also supports those dealing with communication problems, control issues, loneliness and questions about life purpose.
Claire keeps sessions direct and practical. She encourages honest conversation about what is happening now and what patterns keep recurring. The focus is on understanding triggers, noticing how thoughts and behaviour link to feelings, and trying out different ways of responding to difficult moments.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She aims to help clients spot unhelpful habits and test small changes between sessions. This might include practising new ways to express irritation, setting boundaries, or slowing down when strong emotions arise.
Claire draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on trauma, relationships and mood. She explains options clearly and helps clients choose approaches that fit their situation. Progress is paced to match what each person can manage.
People who come to Claire often want better control of anger, less reactivity at home or work, and clearer communication with others. She helps people build practical strategies and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches can work online
Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure online sessions in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on identifying triggers and changing immediate reactions by teaching simple behavioural steps and breathing or grounding practices that reduce the urge to snap. This helps with anger that shows up at work or at home.Another strand of work addresses past trauma and how it affects current relationships. This involves gently mapping patterns, naming how old experiences influence reactions now, and practising new responses in everyday situations to lessen reactivity and mistrust.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Claire works collaboratively to decide which techniques to try first, adjusting based on what a client prefers and what seems to help. She encourages clients to test small changes between sessions and report back so plans can be refined together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid travel time. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options if that helps them focus.
