Claire is so easy to talk to. She is completely non judgemental and makes it easy to relax. She has helped me work through an incredibly difficult year which I know would not have been possible without her. She is just so kind and compassionate.

Hello, I'm Claire (she/her)
I offer you acceptance, space and time to focus on what matters to you. You can be totally honest about whatever you’re going through. My practice is gender inclusive, queer inclusive, sex and body positive.
I have 8 years experience working in mental health, I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I have studied different types of therapy so I can offer different approaches to suit the needs of the individual. I don’t believe one size fits all and I work with people, rather than their diagnoses.
We’ll work together in our sessions to establish what you’d like to get from the counselling and I’ll support you in achieving those goals. No issue is too big or small for therapy. There is always hope, and I believe everyone is capable of living in a way that is true to themselves.

About online counseling
- Affordable.

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.
