Claire Williams

Hi, I'm Claire - I'm super glad you are here.

I am a Person-Centred therapist and a registered member with the BACP. I adhere to their ethical framework in all my clinical work making sure clients receive the highest form of confidentiality and safety. I attend regular clinical supervision to ensure my business is fit to practice.

I pride myself in my duty of care towards all clients in providing a service that best meets your needs.

My approach is compassionate, kind, warm and friendly. I truly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the strong, safe, secure and nurturing bond that can be built throughout the therapeutic work. In my own experience as both client and counsellor this trusting confidential connection enhanced my experience of therapy, allowing me to get to a place of self-acceptance, sustainable change, willingness & forward movement.

My approach is non-judgemental and focuses on walking alongside you to empower you to build your inner trust, be self-confident, be able to assert yourself and your thoughts, feelings and needs while acting from a place of autonomy and authenticity.

I will work with you as you begin to notice patterns of relating, feelings, thinking, behaving and support you in choosing what serves you best in moving toward where you hope to be. Through honesty and integrity, I will create a collaborative space where we can explore ways forwards in achieving your goals.

If you find yourself in a place of struggle, illness, discomfort, uncertainty feeling lost, stuck or alone, limiting beliefs preventing you from living a fulfilling life, I can help; Build your Brave, Cultivate your Courage, Show your Strength & Rely on your Resilience.

I will support you in making sustainable changes that will allow you to recognise disrupting patterns/habits, providing you with useable tools/coping techniques to replace these with healthier choices that allow you to fulfill your potential in life.

I look forward to hearing from you.
