Claire Grant

Are you struggling with anxiety or feeling sad all the time?

Maybe you're worried about how this is affecting your relationships causing you more anxiety. Perhaps you're finding it difficult to communicate your feelings to loved ones.

Are you grieving for the loss of a loved one? Perhaps you are feeling depressed and overwhelmed like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Are you carrying this huge feeling of grief and depression around with you every day and it's dragging you down? 

Who am I and how do I work

I'm Claire, a person-centred counsellor, offering face-to-face counselling at the lovely Wellness rooms in Tur Langton Village Leicestershire, and also online from my home in Rutland. I support adults, addressing a range of issues such as grief, relationship challenges, anxiety, and depression.

How Counselling can help you

Counselling can help you explore your feelings of anxiety or depression, helping you to become stronger and calmer. It will help you to become more positive about yourself so that you can build healthy boundaries in your relationships. Counselling can help you learn how to communicate your needs so that you feel heard and valued for who you are.

Bereavement Counselling

I understand how hard it can be to openly share your feelings of anxiety, or talk about a bereavement with family or friends. My personal experience of loss has helped me enormously when working with the bereavement charity Cruse. Being able to share with someone who is outside of your family or group of friends can bring huge relief, knowing that you can talk freely and are not a burden. 

Benefits of Counselling

Counselling can help you understand your relationship patterns and learn new ways to communicate your needs so that you can build stronger relationships. It can help you feel more in control of your anxiety so that you feel lighter and can cope better with life. Talking to a counsellor can help you explore your feelings more deeply without the fear of upsetting others. 

If you prefer to have online sessions I offer daytime or evening appointments where you can have a session without leaving the comfort of your own home. Through our relationship, you will have the opportunity to talk openly and I will listen with empathy, helping you to make more sense of your loss, depression and anxiety. 

What is Person-centred Therapy?

I listen with warmth and compassion offering you a space to begin exploring your feelings without judgment. When emotions are not fully processed or understood, they can remain in the body; causing stress and tension. This can impact your mental health and well-being.

I will gently encourage you to explore your deeper feelings at your own pace with a focus on the connection between the mind and the body. Bringing more awareness to the feelings and sensations within the body can help you gain more understanding about the root of anxiety or depression.

What I offer

Counselling is a collaborative process so we will work together, to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This will help you make sense of difficult emotions, and learn to trust yourself again.

I offer a space either face-to-face or online where you will feel seen and heard.  Through our connection, you will learn how you relate to others now and in the past. This awareness can help you make sense of what is happening within your relationships and your attachments.

I believe you are the expert on your own life and have the strength and resilience to overcome challenges, and I will walk alongside you, supporting you on that journey.

As a Reiki Practitioner also, I can support you with learning about your own energy, so that you can become a stronger, calmer and happier you. 

I understand that counselling can feel daunting so I am here to support you with the process by offering a free 20-minute video or telephone call. 

Please feel free to contact me to ask questions to help you determine if I am the right counsellor for you.

My experience includes working at working for up to 2 years with a wide range of long-term clients face-to-face at Leicestershire Counselling Charity, Cruse Bereavement Care and Diane Stevens Counselling.

I trained and worked with Cruse as a Bereavement Volunteer for 5 years, supporting clients with complex grief and loss. I have explored and used the various models of grief when working with clients coping with different types of loss. I have experience working with many clients on long and short-term work supporting clients face to face, via Zoom and on the telephone. 

I have training in safeguarding adults and children and have experience working with suicide and trauma. Working closely with people struggling with grief, I feel a natural empathy and a strong desire to help clients navigate this difficult transition.
