I am credentialed in the UK with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience of working as a client centred therapist as well as a psychosexual therapist in the UK.
I have experience of working in outreach community settings, online and via Phone. I have had the opportunity to work with both children and adults, using many different methods of support and tools to ensure individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves and experiences.
These skills have enable me to help clients across a number of areas such as understanding stress, anxiety and depression , LGBTQIA+ intimacy and sexual disfunction related concerns, coping with grief and loss, fear of change, health concerns, amongst many other possible questions.
I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I aim to respond to clients messages within 24 hrs (week days)and my availability is updated twice weekly. I look forward to working with you
Please feel free to book an available session with me

Communication has been very easy and I feel comfortable expressing any personal issues. It always feels like Claire is standing by my side and giving me courage to follow through and explore ways that are going to help me with whatever I am going through.
