Claire Thorburn

I'm dedicated, qualified and fully insured Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner working with adults, young people and couples with issues such as narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, coercive control, anxiety, stress, depression, phobias, family issues, time management, goal setting, managing expectations. 

I can support you to develop the skills to gain clarity and help you take the incremental steps towards behavioural changes that will enhance your life.

By working together, I can help you gain an understanding of why you feel the way you do and address the problems that are causing or maintaining difficulties in your life. 

I can offer guidance and a safe, confidential space to reflect through a range of practical and motivational CBT skills. 

My journey into counselling started through my own life experiences and using my ability to learn and grow from them. I learnt that personal responsibility and accountability were key to my growth and success.

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?

CBT is a talking therapy that looks at how your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and physical states interact to cause or maintain difficulties. CBT aims to empower you to recognise negative thought patterns, then challenge and replace with more constructive ones.  

What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?

EFT is a therapeutic method that combines acupuncture and psychology. It involves tapping on meridian points on the body while focusing on emotional issues or negative thoughts. The process can balance the body’s energy system and alleviate emotional distress. It helps release emotional blockages and promote emotional healing and improved mental well-being.

Sessions can be delivered either online or by telephone.
