Connect with Claire Welch
I provide compassionate, professional counselling for individuals and couples seeking positive change. My integrative approach addresses the whole person—mind, body, and emotional well-being—to help you navigate life's challenges.
For individuals: Supportive space to work through anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. Therapy helps you build resilience, self-awareness, and practical tools for a more fulfilling life.
For Couples: Strengthen your connection, improve communication, and rebuild intimacy. I guide couples through conflict resolution, healing from betrayal, and creating a deeper and secure partnership
Choosing a counsellor is personal, and the right fit matters most. I treat you as a whole person, not a list of symptoms, and I always start with a relaxed, no-pressure chat.
Your mind, body and emotions are linked. Rather than just managing symptoms, I help you understand what's underneath them, so change can last.
Working with me is a collaborative process, where you are met with curiosity, acceptance, & presence. I accompany you on a journey inward to discover your wounded parts & begin healing. This is an individual process that unfolds through the doing. I will assist you in developing tools that arise from your lived experience through somatic techniques.
