Hi, I’m Claire and welcome to my counselling practice
I am fully qualified counsellor and creative therapist. Qualifications: MBACP, Dip (Couns), Cert in Creative Therapy, Drawing and talking practitioner.
My Values & Approach To Counselling
I consider myself to be a passionate, gentle, warm, down to earth and professional. I have a real desire to empower people to reach their potential. My goal is to provide a safe and gentle environment so you can openly communicate by saying what is on your mind.
How I'm Supporting My Clients On Their Journey
I have worked in education and safeguarding for 19 years as a School counsellor, Outreach Worker and a Designated Safeguarding lead. I have a range of qualifications tailored to support adults, children, young people. I have current experience of working in many professional settings as Associate counsellor within education, NHS and the emergency services.​​
​
At times we can become overwhelmed by life problems and counselling can help you gain clarity at your own pace with no judgement. Counselling can provide a private space to explore and understand emotions. I offer a wide range of therapeutic interventions that can support clients to develop greater self-awareness and effective coping strategies.
​
From my experience, I have developed the ability to deliver focused support, offering consultation to adults, children and young people over the age of 8 years.

​
