Hello, my name is Claire. I'm an integrative trauma counsellor and supervisor, working in private practice in Peterlee, County Durham.  I work on a 1-1 basis with adults in person and remotely.  

I am committed to continual professional development and particularly interested in somatic, creative and spiritual resources and the mind body connection. I have trained in somatic trauma therapy and trauma informed approaches, mindfulness, compassion focused approaches and creative counselling techniques.  I am a qualified Breathwork Facilitator and Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner. I am currently studying towards an MA in Psychotherapy Studies. 

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 and am passionate about this area. . I am an LGBTQ+ allied therapist and my practice is neurodiversity affirming and inclusive.

I am a registered member of the BACP, a professional member of the International Breathwork Foundation and an accredited member of the EFT & Mindfulness Centre. I am a registered data handler under the Data Protection Act (1998) and I hold professional insurance and a clear DBS.
