More about Claire

- BACP
I became a person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor because I love being a part of, and witnessing someone's emotional and psychological recovery. As humans, what connects us I believe is the desire to receive unconditional love and respect. I believe that the counselling relationship offers a unique opportunity to experience someone who can empathise with us in a genuine, authentic relationship, whether or not we have serious problems or crises. I have been practising as a counsellor for 10 years. I mainly work with people who have experienced the trauma of relational abuse, whether that be in childhood or as an adult, but am also happy to work with you on other issues if you would like to contact me.
The counselling relationship can offer a freedom that we may not find in other relationships - having someone to listen to us without judging, taking over and telling us what to do, what to think, how to be; and not having to feel that we are burdening friends or family unreasonably with our worries and concerns.
Counselling can offer the time, freedom and space to explore our problems and be trusted and helped to find our own solutions and strategies, to work out what feels right to do, or where to go next. Talking things through with me, as a trained, qualified and experienced counsellor, will usually help you to get clarification or resolution.
I also supervise other counsellors and psychotherapists.
I am a Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). I am also a member of the Person-centred Association.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Overall rating:
Claire is helping me go through one of the toughest times in my life. She proves to me that there's really a living person with the competency who wants to help without judging, that good therapists exist, and that they are in fact not just a myth.
Claire has a kind and compassionate approach. I would definitely reccommend her.
Claire's calm and compassionate manner are greatly appreciated. Listening intently without judgment to allow you to rationalize your own thoughts and behaviour patterns, to aid personal development and growth but also identify, explore and challenge certain limiting beliefs. This helps cultivate a more wholesome awareness of self, that would just not be possible to achieve without her gentle yet thought provoking questions delivered at the right time (without judgment) but also as an impartial understanding ally, who is in your corner. Super grateful for Claire's support in this mindset exploration.
Claire is a wonderful and thoughtful therapist. It's clear that she has a lot of expertise in working with trauma. She is very helpful.
Claire is an empathetic listener who my feelings well. I am confident I can explore the friends of my emotions with her and find my own way through them.
Very good listener and doesn’t make you fill silly when something upsets you even if it’s small.
Claire was really easy to talk to and an even better listener. She gave room for feelings to be felt and offered wonderful tips and source material to learn and to educate oneself. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone I know who needs an outlet to be heard, not judged.
