Hi, I'm Claire, and I'm an experienced therapist and hypnotherapist. I take a practical, kind, and non-judgmental approach in my work. I see adults, couples, elderly people, children, and teens. Although I work with whatever issue you want to address in therapy, I also specialise in the following areas: 1) anxiety and depression 2) ongoing or longer-term support, plus coping skills, for chronic or terminal illness e.g. long covid, IBS, Parkinson's or cancer 3) sex-informed couples counselling (not sex therapy, but we will talk about your sex life), and 4) dissociative disorders (depersonalisation/derealisation or DID spectrum).
My goal is to help get you back on your feet and functioning well again as soon as possible. People usually see me for between 2 and 12 sessions, but with chronic illness and dissociative disorders you may want longer-term or ongoing support. The goal in Human Givens therapy is emotional health and clear thinking.
I offer a free 15-minute phone or video chat if you have questions before making an appointment, or are looking for therapy for a child or teen. I will ask you about various aspects of your life e.g. worries, sleep, stress, work, and relationships, and will listen carefully. Then, if you like, you can make your first appointment.
