Claire Thomas-DavisBACP

Claire Thomas-Davis is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through major life changes and painful experiences. She works with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected, and offers calm, steady support while they talk things through. Claire holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her professional credential. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. From there Claire works with clients to create practical coping strategies, manage strong emotions, and make clearer decisions about next steps. Claire draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred and emotionally focused methods to help people deepen self-understanding and repair important connections. Mindfulness and somatic work are used where helpful to bring bodily awareness into emotional healing. She has five years of experience supporting people through grief, trauma, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, relationship difficulties, and changes such as separation. Claire also helps with issues like low self-esteem, shame and guilt, body image, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are intended to be a steady place to unpack worries and practise new ways of coping. People who want to regain balance, feel more connected to themselves, or work through painful past experiences may find her style accessible and compassionate.

How certain approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use gentle exploration and reflective questions to help people notice relational patterns and try new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift difficult emotions in the moment; in an online session this often looks like tracking strong feelings together and practising new responses. Mindfulness work brings attention to present-moment experience and can include short breathing or grounding exercises to reduce overwhelm. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, based on goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change if needed. Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify which online or in-person options are offered. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, childcare, or appointments, and they can make shorter check-ins easier to schedule. Online sessions also allow focus on verbal and bodily cues while avoiding travel time, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
