Claire Cowper, BACP

Claire Cowper is a counsellor who uses a respectful, person-focused way of working. She holds BACP registration and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. Claire aims to create a calm space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and depression.

She adapts how she works to suit each person. That might mean listening and reflecting, looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, or gently tracing how past experiences affect current reactions. Her background includes supporting people with family difficulties, caregiving stress, chronic illness and issues connected to adoption and foster care.

In practice Claire combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and parts-work from Internal Family Systems when these fit a person’s needs. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people make small, manageable changes.

Claire describes her role as supportive and empowering. She will work with you to build goals and a plan that feels doable. Many people come to her for help with communication problems, codependency, separation and bereavement.

Her work is delivered from the United Kingdom and sessions are carried out in English. If you would like to begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How Claire’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor follows your lead, reflects what you say and helps you identify your own strengths and next steps. It is useful for stress, relationship strains and grief when people need empathetic listening.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers clear ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviours that keep problems going. It suits people who want practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and repetitive worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claire will work with you to test what helps and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where you decide what feels most useful.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio depending on what feels comfortable and what their day allows. Registered or accredited professionals can often tailor sessions to suit your schedule and pace.
