Perhaps you’re a teenager or young adult, who experiences physical symptoms of anxiety (such as stomach aches or racing heart), which make you want to avoid certain situations. Or maybe you’re a parent or guardian, eager to get the best support for a loved one who struggles with anxious thoughts or behaviours. Rest assured, you’ve come to the right place. I care. My interest in providing timely treatment for difficulties such as these is the reason why I founded Flourishing Futures Psychology. I too was prone to getting tangled up with anxiety when I was younger, so I know how it can try to trip you up.

Are you at a crossroads? Have a problem to solve and are unsure how to? Stuck in a place but not sure what to do next? Thinking about your next career step? Preparing for retirement? Dealing with a stressful relationship? Struggling with loss? Feeling alone and isolated. I am skilled in successfully helping people find a way through their life journey, and I do that by letting them stay in charge and work things out on their own terms. My working style is compassionate and collaborative, guiding you to take that step confidently and flourish along the way. It’s not magic, but the results can be!

You may seem to the world to be successful, sure of yourself, and in control whilst feeling increasingly isolated as you battle, perhaps in secret, with your fear, anxiety, loneliness or past. You may sense that part of you is hidden, maybe even from yourself, tripping you up when it matters most, that your life is not quite what you hoped or your choices are unfulfilling. You may wish to know your own heart, to be on your own side, and to be able engage authentically and meaningfully with your life. Working together we can listen out for your quiet inner voice, the one that already knows you and already knows how to be.

I work with ages spanning from the tender age of 3 to adulthood. I work within trauma and attachment-related challenges, seeking solace and healing. Rooted in past experiences, and how the issues manifest in strained relationships, emotional dysregulation, and a pervasive sense of disconnection. Individuals needs transcend age barriers, encompassing a safe space for expression, empathetic understanding, and tools for coping and resilience. Through therapy, individuals will aspire to reclaim a sense of security, rebuild trust in relationships, and cultivate a healthy sense of self-worth.

I have significant experience working with teenagers facing mental and emotional health challenges, particularly young victims of crime. My approach is centered on helping young people feel safe within themselves and the world around them. Having mentored students at Oxford University for five years, I also offer a mentoring service when appropriate. I work uniquely with each individual, and with a deep understanding of family dynamics, I always consider the wider family context in supporting an individual’s growth and well-being.

Hi, my name is Claire, I am passionate about helping people with a range of presenting issues such as low mood, anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, trauma bonds, narcissistic relationship recovery and whatever you wish to bring into the space. We work together on a journey which is unique, and I walk alongside you as you move towards a more authentic and peaceful place. Having a non judgemental space in which to talk means that you can clear those things which feel 'stuck' without a need to reciprocate that for someone else, fostering greater personal clarity and movement.

I specialise in working with men. Many of the men I support come to therapy feeling stuck, under pressure, or unsure how to talk about what’s really going on. You may be dealing with stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, anger, or a sense that something isn’t quite right—but finding it hard to put into words. My practice offers a space where men can speak openly, without judgement or expectation. Whether you’re navigating work pressures, family responsibilities, identity questions, or personal challenges, I aim to help you make sense of your experience and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If your daughter's late neurodivergence diagnosis, Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, has left you looking back at years of experiences differently, whilst still trying to hold everything together for everyone else, you are not alone. Alongside the overwhelm and uncertainty, there can be relief, recognition, pride, and a complicated kind of grief. You may be questioning your own identity, renegotiating relationships, or carrying a guilt that isn't really yours to carry. You may also be wondering, quietly, whether any of this applies to you.
