About me
Hello, my name is Claire. I am an experienced qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist based on the edge of Chesterfield within easy reach of Dronfield and Sheffield. I am trained to post graduate level and a trauma informed practice. My depth of experience includes delivering therapy over various mediums including in-person, online, email and telephone.
My room offers a safe and comfortable space in which to explore what brings you to Counselling.
I have a warm, caring and open-minded approach that values uniqueness. I work in a Humanistic and Integrative way with the belief we all have the innate capacity to grow, change and fulfil our potential.
I fully understand that taking the first step into Counselling may feel challenging, daunting, scary and perhaps a little overwhelming. I would like to assure you I will do everything I can to help you feel comfortable and welcome.
I am a registered member of BACP. A professional association for members of the Counselling professions in the UK. I attend regular supervision and I attend regular training workshops to support my work. I am committed to a high standard of interpersonal relationships, characterised by mutual respect, collaboration and appropriate boundaries.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training began when I enrolled in a local Community Adult Centre. I enjoyed this so much I decided I wanted to go on further and study more in depth. I achieved the following qualifications:
Level 3 in Counselling Skills.
BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy achieved at the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute.
CertPG Trauma Informed Practice University of Nottingham.
The majority of my experience has been gained through working with women, men and young people who have experienced relational trauma. There has been a wide range of presenting issues including; anxiety, depression, self harm, relationship issues, anger and stress.
Member organisations
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
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.
