About Claire
Claire Kuyper welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, loss, low mood or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so people can name what feels hard. Claire aims to make the first step feel manageable rather than daunting.
Claire is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of experience in Australia. She helps people cope with anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Workplace issues, social anxiety and struggles around purpose and motivation are also areas she supports people through.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now. She creates space to talk through feelings, test small changes and build clearer ways of thinking about problems.
Claire uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. That can include client-centred listening to follow what matters most, cognitive behavioural tools to try new thought and behaviour patterns, and narrative work to reframe difficult experiences. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to identify practical next steps.
People come away with simpler ways to manage day-to-day stress and clearer plans for bigger changes. Claire supports each person at their own pace and helps them try things that make life feel more manageable and meaningful.
How Claire's approaches translate to online therapy
Claire combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions focus on the persons priorities and feelings, creating room to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) introduces simple tools for noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss different ways of working and decide together what fits your goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it simpler to check in between commitments or to use shorter sessions when needed. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which options suit your routine.
