My name is Claire, I am an integrative Counsellor, which means I can adapt my approach to meet your individual needs. I am kind non judgemental real person who understands the ups and downs that life can bring. I work at a local Hospice which I encounter many different kinds of mental health issues from anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, addiction, end of life, life limiting illness, relationships, self-harming, OCD and more.
About me and my practice
How do you know which counsellor is right for you? It is a personal choice and there are so many to choose from. Being happy with your counsellor and feeling a connection will help facilitate all the great work that we can do together.
I am a Qualified Integrative Counsellor/ Psychotherapist. I have an advanced Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. As an Integrated counsellor, I can draw upon different theories that suit your needs. I am a person centred counsellor as well as using CBT, Gestalt and mindfulness. One size does not fit all and that is the same in counselling. I have helped my clients break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals.
I can offer you Face to Face, Online or Telephone counselling sessions, which ever feels more comfortable for you.
Get in touch today to see how we can work together.

Initial Consultation
I understand the initial contact is the hardest.
Taking that leap can lead to a greater life.
I can offer an initial 15 minute consultation, either via telephone or video call to establish if you are happy to work with me and me with you. This also gives us the opportunity to discuss what has brought you to counselling and your expectations around this. Then if you feel you would like to continue with me we can arrange a time and date to work together.
