About me
My name is Claire and I'm a qualified person-centred counsellor and I'm an accredited member of the NCPS. I became qualified in 2020 and have over six years experience working with adults and young people.
The Therapeutic Space
I offer a compassionate safe supportive space to allow individuals to be heard, acknowledged and validated. The safe space created will allow us to build a therapeutic relationship built on trust.
The Journey
Wherever you are on your personal journey, if it has brought you to my profile and you are considering taking the next step towards attending counselling sessions with me, I endeavour to support you in reconnecting with your path to healing, discovering your inner strengths, and gaining a clearer perspective.
How I Work and My Approach
My person-centred approach involves active listening, unconditional positive regard, and empowering clients to rediscover their strengths and potential. I will provide empathy and patience allowing clients to explore their feelings at their own pace and navigate their own path to healing. To support my clients further, I integrate various resources and techniques tailored to individual needs.
How I Can Help
I am a dedicated and compassionate counsellor specializing in person-centred therapy supporting individuals navigating life's challenging transitions and mental heath difficulties.
My Expertise Covers
I work with young people and adults, specifically in the following areas:
My professional experience and skill set equips me to provide a tailored therapeutic support to a diverse caseload presenting with complex mental health and neurodivergent needs, including ADHD, Autism, generalized anxiety and low mood.
My experience extends to guiding clients through profound life transitions, offering compassionate care for bereavement, relationship breakdowns, and understanding the neurobiology, emotional regulation and recovery of the menopause transition.
I facilitate one-to-one therapeutic sessions within a person-centred holding environment supporting counselling students by providing a dedicated space to explore their own growth and professional development.
Flexible Working Modes
I offer counselling sessions tailored to your preference: face-to-face, online, or via telephone, all in a confidential setting. The room I book is in a comfortable, quiet library in Wickersley, Rotherham, which has wheel chair access and a lift.
I understand therapy is an investment and I am happy to work with you to keep it affordable. I offer a shorter time length of sessions for a smaller fee. I offer a discounted rate to counselling students and students. I offer a free introduction to allow clients and myself to determine if we can work together effectively. The introduction will be for twenty minutes and this can be tailored to your preference: Microsoft teams online or telephone.
