Claire Woodward

Welcome to my profile. I'm Claire, a highly experienced and fully qualified MBACP counsellor and psychotherapist based in West London, W4.

I offer therapy online, in-person or on the telephone on weekdays between 9am and 7pm and Saturdays from 9am to 12 noon.

Please get in touch to discuss your preferred timings.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges?  Do you find yourself at a crossroads, uncertain of the next step?

Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, whether in relationships, work/office dynamics or our own inner conflicts and the relationship we have with ourselves that requires understanding, attention and care. Whilst these challenges can be a source of growth and learning, they can also lead to feelings of anxiety, trauma, confusion, and distress.

If you're facing something similar - you're not alone as together, we can explore your feelings to find a way forward. I believe in the importance of every individual's voice and the transformative power of having a safe, non-judgmental space to express and work through your thoughts and emotions.

As a fully qualified MBACP counsellor and psychotherapist, I hold a first-class honours degree in pluralistic person-centred counselling and psychotherapy and bring a wealth of knowledge to my practice.  My 15+ years in the health and wellness industry inform my practice and reinforce my commitment to honouring each client's unique journey. 

My approach is tailored, empathic, and grounded in many years of experience working with a diverse client base. My work is based in person-centred pluralistic practice - an evidence-based therapeutic approach that significantly reduces psychological distress. Adopting this way of working enables me to draw from various theories and practices. The collaborative nature of this approach celebrates your uniqueness and individuality, ensuring that the therapy is customised to address and meet your specific needs, making our journey together as distinct and personal as your own life story.

Based in the heart of Chiswick, my private practice embraces a variety of therapeutic approaches including in-person, online and telephone therapy, ensuring accessibility and comfort for all clients. Each mode of therapy provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space. Committed to the highest standards of professionalism and ethical practice, as endorsed by the BACP, my goal is to create an environment where you can feel completely understood and supported in your journey towards healing, self-discovery and personal growth.

I offer a complimentary 30-minute initial online session to explore the challenges you're encountering and the reasons you're considering therapy. This consultation serves as an opportunity for you to experience how therapy feels with me and to decide if it's the right match for your journey towards greater health and well-being.

Our introductory session is over the phone or online and will allow us to explore what brings you to therapy. If you then feel that therapy with me feels right, we can arrange a convenient time for our first session.

Initial consultation: 30 mins - NO CHARGE

Price per Session: £65+

Session length: 50 minutes

Explore therapy sessions with me online, in person, or over the phone. I'm available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 7 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 12 noon.

Start with a complimentary 30-minute consultation, absolutely commitment-free.
