Claire Jean Seymour, NCPS

Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, sleep or eating concerns, anger, and career pressures. Claire works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She is listed with the NCPS. Claire aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps people can use between meetings. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation, using approaches that fit their needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Her style is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on listening before suggesting change. Over seven years of practice, Claire has worked with a wide range of life challenges. She draws on methods that help people notice patterns, try new behaviours, and build skills for handling strong emotions. She pays particular attention to attachment and relationship dynamics when these shape current difficulties. In sessions she helps people talk through painful experiences and practical problems. That may involve learning strategies to reduce anxiety, practicing smaller steps after setbacks, or thinking differently about difficult thoughts. The focus is on what the person wants to change and realistic ways to get there. People who choose Claire can expect a collaborative approach. She works to make the process clear and manageable, and to set goals that reflect each person’s values and daily life.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life changes where someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It can help people understand trust, closeness and repeating relationship problems so they can try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier when someone needs quick support, and it can suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs when video is difficult.
