About me and my practice
Who am I?
Hello, I'm Claire, a compassionate and approachable therapist offering face to face and online sessions. I am here to offer a grounded, safe, and authentic space for you to be seen and heard. My practice is integrative using person centred and psychodynamic approaches. I will meet you where you are in your life, and I deeply value the trust and connection built with my clients within the therapeutic relationship.
I am inclusive and have worked with a diverse community of people of backgrounds and cultures. All are welcome here.
How can I help?
Sometimes life contains painful experiences. If you are feeling a variety of emotions such as anxiety, overwhelm, sadness, emotional pain, low self esteem or experiences from trauma, I can work with you by helping you explore your experiences, feelings and insights. This can offer a deeper understanding of yourself with bringing about your own sense of empowerment to move towards living your life with positive change. This will be at your own pace for you to feel emotionally safe.
Experience
Running a Private Practice I work with a wide variety of clients and issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, self esteem, discrimination, relationship & family, childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault. I have worked alongside survivors of abuse in a sexual abuse support centre. I also work with an agency providing therapy to clients working in international schools.
