About me
Hi there, I’m Claudia
I understand that life can be challenging and difficult to navigate at times. Perhaps you are experiencing low mood, anxiety or difficulties in your relationships. You can bring anything that is worrying you or causing you distress, confusion or pain. Sometimes, individuals are not sure why they are coming to see me. You might just feel things are not okay and feel a bit lost in life. You might be struggling to manage your feelings. You might want to engage in a journey of self-discovery and exploration. There is no right or wrong topic to bring and nothing that I would not consider important enough. Whatever is making you want to seek help is always justified and I can help you to explore further. Therapy can help to create shifts, movement and new energy that did not previously feel present or possible.
My therapeutic approach is very rational and has a deep root in humanistic principles, meaning I am to create a space where you feel truly seen and understood. Therapy is a safe space for you to explore and make sense of your difficulties. Together, we’ll explore what feels most challenging for you and work towards meaningful change and personal growth. For me, therapy is about self-development which can be a transformative process and a chance to uncover hidden wounds and shed light on patterns that may be causing and maintaining your difficulties.
Training, qualifications & experience
For the past 10 years I have undertaken rigorous clinical training. I have worked with children, young adults and adults supporting them with their psychological distress. I’ve worked in both Ireland and the United Kingdom across various mental health services, such as the Health Service Executive (HSE), National Health Service (NHS), charity services, private settings, private rehabs, and staff support services. I have also worked in highly specialised services such as addiction and substance abuse, eating disorders and chronic health conditions.
I am a registered member of the British Psychological Society and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am currently in the final year of my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology atthe City, University of London.
Member organisations

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.
