Claire trained under the ground breaking psychologist John Bradshaw, and has developed a form of inner child therapy that can help people with a deeply wounded and shame based sense of self reconnect with their inner strength. This work helps people explore interests and creativity that may have been buried under layers of depressive self-limiting beliefs and incapacitating anxiety.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

​Claire offers creative solutions to cope with emotional struggles, helping people develop the tools necessary to work through painful memories and destructive habits. Sessions are aimed to uncover and challenge self-limiting negative and unproductive thinking patterns, which ignored, can lead to your becoming immobilised by everyday life traps.

Individualised sessions will help you to uncover and explore feelings, allowing you to make changes, and to achieve a life of freedom, self-respect and purpose.
