About me and my therapy practice
Hello, my name is Claire. I'm a qualified integrative counsellor. and a registered member of the BACP, working in private practice in County Durham, in the North East of England. I work in a 1-1 basis with adults in person, and remotely, via telephone and zoom.
I work predominantly with a relational and collaborative approach, meeting clients with compassion, understanding and warmth, to provide a safe and confidential space where feelings, thoughts and behaviours can be explored.
Practice description
Alongside my private practice, I also work in the voluntary sector, counselling individuals who have been subjected to domestic abuse and sexual violence. My passion for women-centred therapy comes from working in this area for over fifteen years. I am fascinated by the mind body connection and am currently studying somatic informed trauma therapy.
My core training includes CBT, person centred and psychodynamic theory. I am committed to continual professional development and have undertaken additional training in mindfulness, compassion focused therapy and creative counselling techniques. I am also a qualified Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner and Breathwork Coach. I am an LGBTQ+ allied therapist and my practice is neurodiversity affirming, inclusive and trauma informed.
