About me
Hello and welcome. My name is Claire, and I’m a fully qualified Accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor based in Worcester Park with over 10 years’ experience. I am fully insured and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Counselling with Claire offers professional, confidential counselling in Worcester Park and online, supporting individuals with anxiety, stress, and life challenges. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
I specialise in helping individuals explore and manage emotional challenges, offering support in areas they may find difficult to cope with. Many people seek counselling for a variety of reasons, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, family issues, or following a significant life change or personal crisis.
You may be experiencing loss, separation, or relationship difficulties that leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Through counselling, we can work together to explore these feelings and develop healthier ways of coping.
I offer private counselling sessions at The Manor Drive Medical Centre in Worcester Park, providing a safe, confidential, and secure environment for therapy. Sessions are available face-to-face or online.

Member organisations
school 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 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
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.

Further information
I offer counselling in a calm, private setting at The Manor Drive Medical Centre in Worcester Park, providing a safe, comfortable and confidential environment for therapy.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means we work together to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be influencing your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. This can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop more effective ways of coping.
Sessions are paced according to your needs, with a focus on creating a supportive and non-judgemental space where you feel able to talk openly and be heard.
