Claire Austen is a fully qualified and insured person-centred counsellor originally from London who now lives in Lincolnshire.
She has five years of experience working successfully with clients on depression, anxiety, chronic low mood, relationship problems and grief, among other concerns.
Claire has worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds and offers a warm, empathic and non-judgemental environment where people can explore themselves and begin to unlock their unique potential.
Her practice draws on elements from several counselling approaches while remaining rooted in a person-centred framework; she believes that once blocks are brought into awareness, clients often know what is best for them.
In addition to her degree and counselling qualifications, Claire holds a diploma in CBT and can provide practical strategies to take away.
She understands that starting therapy can feel daunting and aims to offer a safe space for all feelings. Claire looks forward to meeting clients who choose to work with her.
Many people ask whether talking to a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility - you can connect in the way that suits you best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if you ever want a different fit you can switch to another therapist at any time.
