My Approach

Sometimes it is too difficult to work things out alone and you may need more than what a close friend or relative can offer. My aim is to provide you with someone you can learn to trust and have a safe space, where you can just be yourself, however that might be, yet with a sense of hope that things can get better.
Although counselling and psychotherapy is primarily a talking therapy, other activities such as mindfulness, body awareness and art/drawing/poetry, can be used in our sessions, if this is something you would like to do/try.

About Me

Hi, I’m Claire, an experienced Psychotherapist, offering a confidential service in Leicester and the surrounding areas. I am a qualified psychotherapist as well as a qualified Social Worker, with many years of experience helping people to manage emotional distress and personal difficulties.

I work with adults and young people who are looking to engage in therapy to understand and work through presenting issues in their lives which are causing them upset or distress in themselves, or within their relationships. As a Relational Developmental Psychotherapist, I aim to establish a therapeutic relationship, where together, we can come to understand why you may think, feel and behave in certain ways. This opens up the possibility to explore how to heal from past experiences and move forward in life in the way you would like.

I trained at the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute and qualified with a Msc in Integrative Psychotherapy. I have professional registrations with the UKCP and HCPC.

My model of psychotherapy is based on relational, developmental and trauma informed theories.

I work online and in person.
