I am especially passionate about supporting survivors of interpersonal and sexual violence, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ folks, poly/kink communities, and indigenous and immigrant peoples.
As a relational trauma therapist, my work integrates attachment-oriented, culturally responsive, trauma therapy. I utilize DEEP (Dynamic Enriched Experiential Psychotherapy), Somatic Experiencing, and Sex Therapy to work with individuals and couples to disentangle themselves from prior relational wounds and cultivate the life they wish to lead.

Claire Smith
Counsellor, ACA-L1

My ideal client is a woman who feels like she's lost herself in the midst of motherhood, relationships, responsibilities, or just trying to keep up with life. She might be snapping over little things, feeling guilty afterward, overwhelmed by the mental load, or grieving the version of herself that existed before children. Often, she's the one holding it together for everyone else but inside, she feels like she's running on empty. She wants to stop yelling, find time to do the things she loves, stop second-guessing everything, have a conversation with her partner that lasts longer than 5 seconds, and simply just, breathe!

I'm a clinical psychologist who works with adults across a diverse range of mental health issues, I have a particular interest in trauma, grief, relationship issues, depression, life transitions (such as separation), multicultural populations, personality disorders (such as helping people who struggle with BPD traits or helping people manage difficult relationships with individuals with narcissistic traits or help them recover after narcissistic abuse), and dissociative disorders such as DID.
I prioritise a strengths-based and emotion-focused approach when working with clients. I draw primarily on techniques from cognitive behaviour therapy, schema therapy, internal family systems (IFS) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). Treatment is tailored to you and your needs.
