Clair Atkinson holds a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy and brings five years of experience in therapy to her practice. She also has three years working across a wide range of therapeutic settings in addition to thirty three years as a Registered Nurse.
She brings her whole self to the therapeutic relationship, listening without judgement and responding with empathy. Her work has included supporting people who are experiencing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence.
Clair works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can help in overcoming difficult situations. She recognises that seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and aims to offer steady support throughout that process.
Her passion is helping people cope with difficult emotions. Rather than offering direct advice or solving problems for clients, she focuses on empathetic listening and empowering individuals to make the decisions that are right for them.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A key benefit is flexibility - you can connect in the way that suits you best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, a live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and if you decide the match is not right you can switch to a different therapist at any time. For many people, the combination of effectiveness and convenience makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health needs.
