Counselling in RH5

Claire believes that counselling is an outlet where you can talk about your difficulties that are affecting your thoughts and emotions. It is a place where you can try to make sense of whats happening and decide on the choices you have today. I am an accredited counsellor who trained in a GP surgery which has given me a diverse understanding to work in many different areas of therapy. I work with bereavement, depression, anxiety, relationships, addictions, cancer, end of life and much much more

I am a qualified, accredited, Humanistic counsellor. Humanistic Counselling takes a holistic approach, focusing on the uniqueness of an individual. It aims to explore a person’s whole life experience, combining the past, present, and future. I am a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCS), abiding by their ethical framework. I am also undertaking a part time master’s degree at Regents University which focuses on psychoanalysis, integrative and existential therapy, contributing to my professional development. Having a wide knowledge of differing approaches allows me to adapt, to suit the unique needs of each client

We seek psychological help for many reasons. Not only can psychological therapy help when life feels intolerably difficult, but it can also make an “ok” life more fulfilling. Therapy can help to reduce emotional suffering, support change, and promote personal growth. It is a collaborative process and the insight gained can help us look at life from a different perspective and enable us to respond differently to life’s challenges. People often seek support when they are facing life transitions or feel stuck in their lives.

Life is a safar. A journey. The road is often rough, strewn with obstacles, full of twists. Are you feeling the need for change, to be more in control? Are you stuck, blocked in a spiralling cycle of anxiety that feels impenetrable? Do you feel alone with endless negative thoughts that go round in your head? I strongly believe that once you understand why you act and think the way you do, then you can silence your inner critic and make the changes you desire. Nelson Mandela famously said 'it always seems impossible till its done'. Second to life itself, the most important journey we will ever make is the journey within ourselves.

I am a Senior Accredited Integrative Counsellor, Clinical Counselling Supervisor & Child & Young People's Therapist (CYPT) supporting individuals & families.

The therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client plays a pivotal role in influencing the success of therapy. This hinges on personal preference and a genuine connection. Often you will intuitively sense whether the therapist is the right match, even from the first contact. Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Seeking therapy is a courageous and brave step, whether it’s for bereavement, grief & loss, or other life difficulties such as anxiety or depression. Please get in touch for a 15 minute discovery session.

Caring, compassionate and easy to talk to therapist to work with you to support you in exploring your difficulties and goals. I will provide a safe, confidential environment for you to talk through and work on any worries, issues or thoughts affecting you. The time we spend together will be responsive to and guided by you. I don't shy away from challenge in helping you explore and understand yourself, your thoughts and actions but do this always in a gentle, collaborative investigative way, helping you to challenge and understand yourself. Therapy will be directed towards your goals, aims and wishes.

We can all find life hard at times. It can throw up difficulties that feel overwhelming and out of our control. I support adults and teenagers through a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues and Asperger Syndrome. When we experience distress, sadness, loneliness, anxiety or depressed mood, it can feel difficult to bear and leave us feeling powerless. Working alongside a therapist means you need not face these difficulties alone.

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 18 years of working with individuals and families who are feeling overwhelmed by the challenges that life has a habit of putting in front of us. I am extremely passionate about my work (ask anyone who knows me!) and gain a great deal of pleasure from observing the change that comes about with the help of therapeutic support.

I work with Adults and Children offering Supportive, Professional Counselling. I provide a safe place to talk about difficult problems and worries. In my work with Adults I work with many presenting issues, such as generalised anxiety disorder, low self esteem, anger management, bereavement, loneliness, trauma, depression, low self confidence, relationship issues and abuse. In my work with Children presenting issues I often see include anxiety, bereavement, anger management, friendship issues, bullying, ADHD, autistic traits, low self esteem, depression and separation anxiety

Are you finding life difficult and sometimes overwhelming? Maybe you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, low mood, bereavement, abandonment, or isolation? Perhaps you are struggling with problematic relationships, traumatic events, adverse childhood experiences or issues connected with spirituality or religion? Working in a calm, safe, non-judgemental therapeutic space I could help you heal from painful past experiences, work through current challenges, and envisage a more hopeful future. Working on an open-ended basis allows change to evolve and embed, without the pressure of a limited timescale.

I have over 10 years experience in supporting individual adults and couples. I know the first step can feel daunting, which is why I offer a safe, warm and relaxed space for us to work together. Counselling is a very individual process, and everything I do will be centred around you. We will go at your pace so I can make sure your needs are met, in order to help you enhance your life and enable you to live it more fully.

I work with adults, who have found themselves in an unwelcome place, with a range of concerns and psychological distress. I provide a confidential therapeutic space for you to explore and to work through what you are struggling with. This is likely to involve considering things that you experienced in the past to help to shed light on what is going on for you now.
