I have worked on a counselling foundation degree, ran a Personal Development Group, and taught Ethics and Reflective Practice. Both of these fields are particularly important to me.

Counselling

During our time together, we will uncover ways to help you live a happier, healthier and sustainable life.

I recognise that every person is unique, a sum of their own life’s experiences and relationships.

We will work collaboratively, creating a safe space, within which you can be open and honest, with complete confidentiality.

We will take an integrated approach, exploring and discussing the different techniques that we try, and responding to what works for you.

  • Claire offered amazing insight and ideas, helping me to find my path through some difficult personal issues. I couldn't recommend her more.

    Pete - Software Engineer

  • Claire has been a great source of support through some very difficult times. She creates an open, supportive, warm environment which makes taking about the difficult things, just a little bit easier.

    Louise - Social Worker

  • Claire makes you feel safe and heard that I have never experienced with other counsellors. She is warm, deeply empathetic and has extensive knowledge of psychology, which she shares in an accessible, insightful way.

  • There is a deep care and respect that runs through the core of Claire’s practice. I am truly grateful for the time Claire has spent listening and supporting me.
