Clair Fulton

Clair Fulton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, eating and body image concerns, grief, trauma and relationship problems. She works with adults on a self-employed basis and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult feelings. Clair makes space for each person to lead the conversation while she listens and reflects.

Clair uses a flexible, person-focused style and adapts her approach to meet each person’s needs. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting relationship and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques when practical skills or patterns of thinking need to change. Sessions typically balance listening, reflection and simple exercises to try between meetings.

She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. In addition to private work, Clair has worked for a local authority as a Counsellor in Education and Early Intervention with 11–25 year olds. She also teaches counselling at a higher education college.

Her background includes work with children and young people in residential and foster care, care leavers, and staff in health and social care. She has experience supporting people affected by early life trauma, attachment difficulties and learning or behavioural challenges. Clair has worked with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and with students managing study-related stress.

Clair welcomes conversations about goals and practical steps. If someone wants to explore whether she could help, they can start the process through the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session.

How Clair's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a respectful connection. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what someone says, validates their experience and helps them find their own answers. It is useful for people needing a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Tasks might include spotting thought patterns, trying small behaviour changes and reviewing what works. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and habits that someone wants to shift.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clair will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree on which methods to try. That collaboration helps shape the plan and any exercises to use between sessions.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and letting people join from different locations. Different formats have different benefits - phone calls can be simpler and need less bandwidth, while video calls allow for face-to-face conversation. The original biography describes experience with video calls, telephone and live chat, but current session options should be confirmed before booking. Working online can support regular check-ins and practical follow-up without asking someone to rearrange large parts of their day.
