Claire is so easy to talk to. She is completely non judgemental and makes it easy to relax. She has helped me work through an incredibly difficult year which I know would not have been possible without her. She is just so kind and compassionate.

Hello, I'm Claire (she/her)
I offer you acceptance, space and time to focus on what matters to you. You can be totally honest about whatever you’re going through. My practice is gender inclusive, queer inclusive, sex and body positive.
I have 8 years experience working in mental health, I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I have studied different types of therapy so I can offer different approaches to suit the needs of the individual. I don’t believe one size fits all and I work with people, rather than their diagnoses.
We’ll work together in our sessions to establish what you’d like to get from the counselling and I’ll support you in achieving those goals. No issue is too big or small for therapy. There is always hope, and I believe everyone is capable of living in a way that is true to themselves.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
