About me
Hello, I am Claire a fully qualified and experienced person-centred counsellor and member of the BACP.
I work in a nonjudgemental and empathic way to be there to listen to and support you, offering you space to explore your thoughts and feelings around any difficulties or challenges you may be facing, and for anything you would like to work through.
Training, qualifications & experience
Alongside my private practice, I work as a bereavement counsellor at a local hospice and have previously worked at Thurrock Mind as well as another local agency The Listening post.
Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
