About me
I'm Claire, a person‑centred counsellor offering a gentle, welcoming space where you don’t have to pretend everything’s okay. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply tired of carrying things on your own, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to face it by yourself.
The heart of my work is the relationship we build together. My role isn't to judge or tell you what to do. I offer acceptance, empathy, and authentic connection so you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin to breathe a little easier. You set the pace, and we explore whatever feels important to you.
If you’re looking for a counsellor who’s warm, down‑to‑earth, and genuinely here for you, get in touch - I would love to meet you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling. I have experience of supporting families managing the transition of moving into a nursing home, and also of supporting people in bereavement. I volunteered for the Samaritans, and also worked for a mental health charity, supporting people in crisis, or with serious mental illness, and complex trauma.
