Hi there! I’m Claire. I am a qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor offering both long-term and short-term therapy, depending on your needs. I am qualified and insured to work with clients from age 11 and above.

My experience includes working with clients over a long period, as well as supporting clients who are looking for shorter, more focused work. I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including self-harm, anxiety, depression, complex grief, relationship issues (including emotional abuse), and the impact of neurodiversity. Whatever brings you to counselling, I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment where you can explore you thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth and relational. I don’t believe I hold power in the room – instead, I see counselling as a collaborative process, where we work together to make sense of what you’re experiencing.

Alongside my thriving pricate practice, I have experience working within several charities – one being a long term psychodynamic charity where I work clients presenting with various levels of trauma. These clients are seen weekly on a long term basis. I also have experience working for a local charity, where I saw clients on a more short term basis (6-12 sessions). Much of my client work has been working with shame, low self-esteem, neurodiversity, complex grief, relationship issues and self harm and dissociation.

I hold a level 5 diploma Counselling Children and Young People and currently work as a school counsellor seeing young people who are struggling with many different issues from low self esteem to self harm and suicidal ideation.
