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.

-
Abuse, Anxiety, Anger, Bereavement.
