About me
Welcome! I am Claire, a Cognitive Behavioral and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Psychotherapist, boasting extensive experience in addressing a myriad of mood and anxiety disorders within both NHS and third-sector contexts.
My therapeutic approach revolves around establishing a secure and non-judgmental environment, fostering collaborative exploration to gain insight into distress. I adeptly employ a spectrum of techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and third-wave modalities such as mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Through this comprehensive toolkit, I endeavor to equip clients with strategies and skills to effectively mitigate and navigate their challenges.
Before embarking on my journey as a Psychotherapist, I honed my skills as a Social Worker, specializing in combating exploitation. This background infuses my practice with a deep understanding of child development and attachment dynamics, enriching my therapeutic approach.
Drawing from my extensive experience in addressing sexual violence and exploitation, I possess profound expertise in trauma-focused interventions, integrating therapeutic, practical, and somatic modalities. Additionally, my qualification as a Yoga Teacher underscores my commitment to mindfulness practices, which I seamlessly integrate into therapeutic frameworks such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to augment your treatment experience.
I harbor a particular interest in addressing symptoms associated with PTSD, Low Self-Esteem, Health Anxiety, Long-Term Health Conditions, and Birth Trauma
