Hello, my name is Claire and I am a BACP registered and NCS Accredited integrative counsellor.  I work with adults, children and young people, couples and families.  

I provide an empathic, genuine, non-judgemental, safe space for you to have the freedom to talk and explore your thoughts and feelings where you are really heard.  I strongly believe in forming a therapeutic relationship that will enable you to feel more empowered as well as building hope.  

Alongside my private practice, I have been volunteering as a counsellor with a family charity for a number of years and have a particular interest in parenting and families and the challenges that this can bring.  I also work as a counsellor working with primary school children and teenagers.

I have worked with clients with many different issues including anxiety, depression, grief, childhood trauma, illness, relationship problems and abuse.

I offer face to face or online sessions from my private and peaceful therapy room near Witham and Maldon, as well as walk and talk therapy.

Whilst there is so much more open dialogue about our mental health, one area that we still have more work to do is in regards to therapy being preventative. Far too often, we wait until we are in crisis before seeking help.  Sometimes we need help with major life decisions and it can be beneficial to talk these through beforehand.  If you are about to embark on a major life change or decision, such as marriage, parenthood, divorce, career change or any other stressful situation, getting help to navigate this can be empowering.

If you would like to have an initial free 15 minute chat to find out more about how we could work together, please send me an email and I will get back to you.
