Counsellor Profile

Hello, my name is Claire Lodge and although originally from London I spent 8 years in Nottingham where I qualified with an Advanced Diploma in Counselling in 2001.

I began my work as a counsellor for an organisation helping people who were suffering financial hardship and moved on from there to work at South Nottingham College as a counsellor working with both the tutors and the students.

Upon moving to the South West I started working in GP Practices across Cornwall and Devon and I also began to see clients privately.

I continue to work in GP practice in Devon and have my private practice in Lipson, Plymouth offering emotional and psychological support to clients referred to me by their GP or EAP provider or by word of mouth.

I am able to assist clients to clarify and accomplish personal and professional goals and work with them on issues such as stress, abuse, anger, assault, confidence, self esteem, anxiety, bereavement, panic, sexuality and relationship issues.
I also offer counselling supervision to experienced and trainee counsellors.
