About me
My name is Claire and I am a Person-Centred Counsellor.
I am a registered member committed to following the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework. BACP firmly believe that counselling changes lives.
I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS check.
There are many reasons why individuals consider counselling. Life is not always easy, and it's ok to want to access support.
Person-centred counselling allows you to build a trusting relationship with your counsellor. You will be encouraged to lead the session and discuss what you want at your own pace.
I can offer a safe, confidential space that welcomes you to explore various aspects of your life, enabling you to understand your feelings and reflect on things that may be troubling you. I will listen to you, be accepting, and show empathy and compassion in a non-judgmental way.
I have worked with a range of clients who are struggling with certain aspects of their lives and have come to counselling to talk about their worries. Counselling is a journey that some individuals dip in and out of depending on their life journey and experiences, which allows them to discuss their concerns in a safe environment and work through said concerns.
I am also employed by the NHS, offering mental health counselling to patients at the renal unit, who request help for their life-changing physical and emotional worries of being on dialysis. I have worked in the NHS for the last five years.
Please call or text me to arrange a free initial consultation to see what I can offer you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
