Claire Thom

Hello, I'm Claire

Do you feel like you are constantly performing for a world that wasn't built with you in mind? Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted by the weight of expectations and the roles they’ve had to play to fit in. 

I offer individual and relationship therapy in a neuro-affirmative and GSRD-inclusive space where you can take time to pause, reflect and explore.

Together, we’ll use Transactional Analysis (TA) to explore the 'scripts' and patterns you’ve developed to navigate life, helping you move away from who you were 'supposed' to be and towards a way of living with true authenticity.

As an Edinburgh-based therapist, I work with the understanding that our identities—whether LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, or neuroqueer—are vital parts of our human experience, not problems to be fixed. 

My areas of interest include sexuality, gender, relationship styles, queer identity, neurodivergence - especially later life diagnosis and how we live in the world spiritually and ecologically.

I offer a trauma-informed space where your unique lived experience is honoured. 

Whether we meet in person in Edinburgh or online via Zoom, our work is a partnership where we set clear goals and check in regularly on your progress.

I’m committed to working ethically and safely which means I have regular supervision and invest in high quality continuing professional development.

Finding the right therapist is the first step towards healing. 

To help you decide if we’re a good fit, I offer a complimentary 45-minute online consultation. In this session, we’ll explore your goals, discuss how we might work together and cover practical details like availability and fees. 

There’s no pressure to commit—this is simply a space for you to decide what feels right for your journey.
