About me
Welcome, I’m Claire and I am a qualified, accredited Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering a secure, confidential counselling service for young people and adults.
I offer person-centred counselling which provides a safe, consistent and deeply respectful space where you can explore, process, and untangle your experiences and ultimately re-connect with yourself. The person-centred approach trusts that you, the client, hold the answers to your issues and the counsellor is a facilitator who can help you reconnect with your authentic self.
This work is not directive and does not provide a quick fix, but many clients find lasting change through lowering their defenses, sitting with difficult emotions, gaining self-awareness and acceptance, restoring confidence and building up trust in themselves.
I currently offer face-to-face 1:1 sessions from my therapy room in St. Ippolyts. Each session is 60 minutes and there is no pressure to commit to a certain number of sessions though I can make recommendations if this is useful.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a level 5 Professional Diploma is Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice and a degree in Psychology. I work with adults and young people 1:1 counselling in schools and in the community.
As well as my own practice, I do sessional work for local mental health organisations in supporting young people across the community.
I am a registered member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and adhere to their code of ethics.
