Claire is a very warm, empathic, understanding and truly caring person. She created a safe atmosphere, in which I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts, feelings and reflections. I could always trust on her to dive deep with me and really make an effort to understand what I was clumsily trying to convey with my words. She has an optimism and positive energy that helped me to not lose hope during the process and lifted me up when I was feeling very low. I full-heartedly reccommend her to anyone who is struggling with the heaviness of mental illness and is searching for professional help that is not short of warmth and humanness.

Hi, I'm Claire, I'm a person-centred counsellor based in Yorkshire. During my time as a counsellor, I have worked with people with traumatic childhood experiences, domestic abuse (various genders) and people with low self-esteem, low mood/depression and confidence concerns in both counselling and volunteering settings.
I have experience of working with neurodiverse individuals and members of the LBGTQIA+ community. I offer my services without judgement or pre-conceived ideas of sex, ability, race or beliefs.
I would describe my counselling style as relaxed, calm and encouraging. I am always able to view the best in people, even when they're unable to see it for themselves!
I generally work Monday to Wednesday 17:30-20:30(GMT/BST), but this can vary.
I'm a down to earth, quirky individual who loves to listen, if you need a listening ear, let's see if we can work together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Claire has been instrumental with my mental development and she has almost single handedly improved my life beyond all believable measures. Working together over only 10 short weeks Claire’s calm, reassuring ans encouraging approach allowed me to discuss issues more thoroughly and open up on difficult topics which have improved how I view and interact with the world. I cannot recommend Claire enough and thank her for her dedication, understand and considered approach which has made a considerable impact on my daily life
