Hello, I'm Claire. As an integrative counsellor, I adapt my approach to meet your unique needs. I am kind, non-judgmental, and genuinely dedicated to helping you. I work at my local hospice, I encounter a wide variety of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, addiction, end-of-life and life-limiting illnesses, relationship difficulties, self-harm, OCD, and more.

Each client is unique with their own set of concerns and challenges. I provide a confidential, safe, and supportive environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely, without judgment, and in your own time. Whether you prefer short-term or long-term counselling, I offer both face-to-face and online sessions to suit your needs.

Let's work together to navigate through your challenges at your own pace.

My counselling room is in my home, it is a nice safe comfortable space for us to be able to speak freely. I also work online. These days our lives are so busy we say we don't have time to help ourselves, this gives you the opportunity to stay in your comfortable space and still get to be able to speak to someone without the added stress of getting there. 

I am happy to do evening appointments online to fit in with your busy days at School, work or at home.

I can offer weekend appointments if required.

During our first session, we will explore how we can work together to meet your needs. I will gather some information from you and explain how I ensure a safe and supportive environment for our sessions.

I currently have availability for couples counselling, Children and adults. I am able to offer day time and some evening sessions weather this be in person or online from my office based in New Ash Green. 

My sessions are -

Single adult or child  session £75.00

Couples session £125.00

I am a kind and empathetic person who understands how hard life can be. My approach is non-judgmental, and I work with whatever you bring to our sessions. I am not here to tell you what to do, but to listen and help find a different approach to your situation together. I offer you the space to work through your thoughts and feelings, whether you come alone or as a couple.

For couples, I prefer to start with an online call to help you both decide if I am the right fit for you. In our sessions, we give each other the space to listen and be heard, working together to reach your goals. The sessions are 60 minutes long once booked.

For adults, I am happy to begin with a telephone call, allowing you to decide if you feel comfortable working with me, and ensuring I can meet your needs. These sessions are 50 minutes long.

When working with children, I start by speaking with the parents to understand why you are seeking help for your child. My approach with children is tailored to their individual needs, which we will discuss during our initial call. I offer play therapy, talking therapy, or a combination of both. These sessions are a maximum of 45 minutes.

We are all unique individuals, and one approach does not suit all. I aim to find the right approach for you.

My office is based in new Ash Green, it is a warm, comfortable, safe space to work though whatever it is that you want to bring.  There is parking available on the road and in parking bays. 

Unfortunately, I do not have a waiting room.

Our first session together is more of a fact finding session, this is for you to tell me everything you would like to work on and we can set out a plan of how we would like to work together. I am happy to offer an initial 15-20 mins telephone call to see if you like me and that I feel I can help you, then i will send over some paper work, this will consist of a contact information sheet and my working contract. If all of this is ok with you then we will book in a session.
