Hello, I'm Claire.
I'm a counsellor in Transactional Analysis, often called TA. As a qualified therapist, I believe my role is to support you to flourish and thrive in all areas of your life. My approach is warm, non-judgemental, and respectful and my way of working is to establish your goals for therapy and to check in regularly with the progress you're making. TA has lots of great models, techniques and tools to help us in our work together to make sense of the difficulties you're facing.
I have experience of issues like depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and styles, neurodivergence - especially later life diagnosis.
I also work with couples and individuals from the LGBTQIA plus and Neurodivergent Communities. I believe that neurodiversity and GSRD (Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity) are vital parts of human diversity and I walk alongside you as an ally offering a trauma-informed space that honours your unique culture and lived experience.
It can be difficult to know which approach is right for you when looking for a counsellor or considering counselling. It is important that I'm the right fit, so don't hesitate to get in contact for a free initial chat.
