About Claire

Claire Jean Seymour is a NCPS therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and career strain.

Claire uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions focus on noticing and naming feelings, and on changing patterns that cause repeated upset. She aims to help people find more effective ways of relating and coping.

In practice she listens to what matters most to the person and then discusses steps they can try between sessions. Conversations are plain and practical, with simple exercises when they are helpful. Claire pays attention to attachment, to how past losses shape current relationships, and to skills for managing strong emotions.

She has particular experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues around abandonment and attachment. Claire also works with concerns such as body image, codependency and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name difficult emotions and change the interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. It is often used for issues that involve closeness, attachment and strong feelings that are hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and for choosing actions based on what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk through what feels most useful and try different methods to see what fits. That decision is made together, taking account of the person’s goals and preferences rather than being decided in advance.

The original profile does not list session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited or when they want a quicker session. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises used in EFT and ACT for video or phone sessions to keep the focus on feelings and everyday coping.
