Claire Jean Seymour, NCPS

Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and midlife concerns. She works with depression, grief, self-esteem problems, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar issues. Claire uses a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

Claire holds NCPS, which is noted as her credential. She has seven years of professional experience supporting people through life changes and difficult transitions. Her background includes work with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and issues around ageing and bereavement.

In sessions she adapts the way she talks to fit each person. Claire uses practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred listening. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful for emotion regulation and relationships.

People can expect a calm, straightforward style in sessions. Claire aims to help clients set small, achievable goals and practise new responses between meetings. She emphasises clarity about what to try and checks in about progress as therapy continues.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, career stress, body image, and coping after major life events. Claire encourages people to describe what matters most to them and to shape the work around those priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Claire commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as part of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. ACT helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to help with relationship patterns and emotional connection. These approaches aim to be practical and are used together to match what each person needs. Deciding which approach to prioritise is a joint process and Claire will discuss options with clients to find the best fit for their goals and preferences.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so check current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work, caregiving or travel, and it makes it easier to have shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions without extra travel time.
