I’m Claire McCullough, a BACP‑registered Humanistic and Integrative Counsellor and psychotherapist. I understand starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if it’s your first time or previous experiences haven’t felt helpful. I’m here to support you in taking that first step. I help people manage anxiety, persistent worrying, and stress-related overwhelm, and support those affected by trauma (CPTSD/PTSD) and life-changing events. I work with clients experiencing bereavement or a loss of identity, helping them regain a sense of self. I have experience supporting a wide range of clients in both organisations and private practice.
Together, we explore what is important to you and tailor therapy to your needs. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to hear you and explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we understand difficulties, process experiences, and develop strategies to manage life's challenges, helping you move forward with resilience, regain confidence and self-esteem.
If you are unsure or thinking, "I need a therapist near me," but travelling isn't convenient, I also offer online and telephone sessions, or a blended approach so support is available. We can arrange an initial conversation, allowing you to ask questions before you start. if you are ready to take the next step towards clarity, please contact me.
Call or Claire McCullough now for a free 15 minute consultation - 01202 144606

In the early sessions, we begin by creating a safe relationship, where you can speak and feel truly heard. I will be honest and open with you to explore what feels most overwhelming. Together, we understand the experiences that may be shaping your difficulties and explore deep-rooted issues to identify and clarify patterns that may feel confusing and lead to overthinking and anxiety.
