I'm Claire, a qualified counsellor based in Melbourne, offering telehealth sessions to individuals across Australia.
I hold a Master of Counselling and am a Level 3 registered member of the Australian Counselling Association.
I've always been passionate about creating a safe environment for people to express and explore what is truly happening for them. In my experience, having your story witnessed and genuinely understood can be the first step to healing.
Through collaborative, person-centred counselling, we can work together to understand what you're experiencing, uncover your strengths, and find a meaningful way forward.
I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, depression, burnout and chronic pain, as well as general counselling. I draw skills from CBT, ACT and PRT, creating unique support for each individual. In 2026, I am completing a year-long study program of Compassionate Inquiry.
If you have any questions or would like know more, please feel welcome to reach out or you can book an appointment with me through my website.
