Hello, my name is Claire. I'm a counsellor and clinical supervisor, working both in person and remotely from Easington Village in County Durham.
I believe there are many ways to understand human psychology and wellbeing. I work holistically with clients, integrating theories and approaches to suit their individual needs. I work in collaboration with clients, offering my commitment to building a therapeutic relationship where thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be fully explored.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked in the voluntary sector for almost twenty years, counselling individuals who have been subjected to domestic abuse and sexual violence.
I am committed to continuing professional development and have a particular interested in the mind-body connection and somatic, creative and spiritual resources. I have trained in somatic trauma therapy and trauma informed approaches, mindfulness, creative counselling techniques and compassion focused approaches. I am also an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner. and Breathwork Facilitator. I am currently studying towards an MA in Psychotherapy Studies, with a focus on working wildly and creatively.
I am an LGBTQ+ allied therapist and my practice is neurodiversity affirming. I am a registered member of the BACP, an accredited registered member of the NCS and a professional member of the International Breathwork Foundation. I hold professional insurance, a clear DBS and I am registered under the Data Protection Act (1998).
