About me

Hi, I’m Claire, psychotherapist and EMDR therapist. Thank you for visiting my profile. 

Many of us find ourselves in need of a safe space in which to explore any issues, feelings, thoughts or actions which may be causing difficulties in our lives. Perhaps you find yourself in a familiar cycle that you’d like to change or you’re experiencing situations, emotions or thoughts which you are struggling to cope with or understand. Perhaps an event (or events) from your past is continuing to impact your present. Psychotherapy and EMDR can help.

EMDR therapy can be integrated into sessions in order to process traumatic memories which may still be impacting upon you. EMDR helps you process difficult bodily sensations, emotions, thoughts, beliefs and images associated with a traumatic event or events. If any memory, image, emotion or body sensation feels 'stuck' to you, EMDR can help you to process this 'stuckness' in order to move on from the trauma. 

I work therapeutically with adults and young people around issues such as childhood/adulthood trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, low self esteem and difficulties in managing anger. 

If any of this resonates with you, please feel welcome to contact me so we can arrange to meet and discuss how we might work together. Everyone is unique; so is everyone's path through therapy. Let's navigate the path together. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified psychotherapist and have completed EMDR training. 

I have experience of working psychotherapeutically with adults, children and young people. As an integrative therapist, I use a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques. The therapy may be short term or long term, depending on your needs and wishes for the work.

I am an accredited member of the BACP and abide by their ethical framework. 

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
