About Claire
Claire Coker-Beyer welcomes people who feel stuck by low confidence, anxiety or self-criticism. She introduces straightforward conversations that help clients see patterns that hold them back and begin small practical changes. Claire uses a calm, accepting style to help people build more self-compassion and clearer next steps.
She is an integrative counsellor who draws on Existential therapy and Jungian ideas alongside mindfulness, narrative and psychodynamic approaches. Sessions look at current struggles and relevant past experiences, and aim to make sense of why certain reactions keep repeating.
Background and approach
Work often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising kinder self-talk and trying new ways of responding. Claire has three years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background means she is used to helping people whose everyday functioning is affected by anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship stress.
She also has experience with addiction-related issues and concerns around gender and sexuality. Practical matters such as work commitments and location are taken into account when planning sessions. Claire offers daytime appointments and uses a mix of video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging as ways to stay connected.
She encourages people to set small, achievable goals between sessions. People who want a reflective, compassionate counsellor who combines exploring life meaning with practical strategies may find her style helpful. She invites curious clients to start by thinking about one small change they'd like to try and bringing that into the first meeting.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Claire combines Existential therapy and Mindfulness therapy in a way that suits online work. Existential therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning and personal values, which can be useful when facing uncertainty or midlife questions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body, which often helps with anxiety and stress.The best approach is decided together. Claire works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she reviews progress as therapy unfolds. That way the plan can change if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a calmer vocal check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflective writing between meetings or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family commitments, and to continue work when travel or relocation would otherwise interrupt progress.
