Claire Parlane

I am a UKCP registered psychoanalytic psychotherapist and a BACP senior accredited psychotherapist with over 25 years working as a psychotherapist, supervisor, consultant and trainer in a variety of private, charity and agency settings.  

I have extensive experience with complex trauma, anxiety and depression, parenting, bereavement, fertility issues, addiction, couples, family dynamics. I work with individuals and couples and also family members who need help with difficult relationships as well as parents struggling with the sometimes overwhelming task of parenting. 

No matter what people are struggling with it is my experience that people come to therapy wanting to feel better.

With this in mind, my approach is for us to talk about you and the issues which have brought you to therapy - at your own pace and in a way that helps you. This includes talking about your experiences of yourself, of your circumstances, of your relationships and of the world. In couple and family therapy we focus particularly on your relationships.  

By reflecting together on the things you talk about in your sessions, your hopes for the future and making connections with your present we can work to support you with whatever difficulties you are facing.

Because our work would be confidential, this includes being able to speak in a way that is unique to therapy. I have found that when people can say the things they need to say, without fear, new possibilities are created.

Over 25 years working as a psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer.  As a supervisor I specialise in complex trauma; Borderline/emotionally unstable structures and processes; family dynamics; parenting; fertility; and bereavement.
