Hello, My name is Claudine, 

I run a private practice working with individuals (18-65+yrs) and couples in Hove, East Sussex. 

I work as an Integrative Therapist which means, I'm able to chose from a number of different approaches, to tailor therapy to your specific needs. 

I'm an experienced therapist with a specialised interest in relationships and relational issues. At the heart of my work, I'm passionate about working with individuals or couples who seek to experience deeper and more meaningful relationships to self or others.

I am a fully qualified registered counsellor having completed a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ). As a member, I'm bound by and adhere to the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

Training, qualifications & experience:

Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling 

Certificate in Couples Counselling 

BA (hons) Social Policy 

Graduate of The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy Training under Ellyn Bader Ph.D. at The Couples Institute.

My Counselling Experience:

I have worked in the voluntary sector as a counsellor for As You Are, a low-cost counselling charity in Southwick.

I have worked at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Hearing Voices and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Research Clinics. 

I will work with you to create a warm, therapeutic, empathic, non-judgemental and confidential space. I believe developing a relationship with you is central to working collaboratively and effectively.

Maybe this is the first time you've decided to come for counselling, or you're returning to explore further. What ever the issue(s), counselling enables you the space to explore and work with your feelings in the here and now. 

Therapy offers a space to heal and I firmly believe we can all improve our relationship to self and with others. 

"Human beings in their essence are born in connection, they are hurt when they feel disconnected, and healed again in re-connection".

Hedy Schleifer, 2019.

Many of us strive to have meaningful connections with others, but haven't experienced such relationships ourselves. 

I can help you to improve your relationships regardless of your past experiences. 

Whether you're experiencing a disconnection, conflict, betrayal, or other relational issue, I can show you techniques that will enable you to reveal a deeper understanding of the relational dynamics and the emotions that often travel alongside. Working with you, I will aim to get to the roots of where you are stuck and help you to create lasting change. 

We can work on a short or long term basis with the emphasis being led by you. 

Finding the right counsellor can be daunting process and therefore I offer a free 30 minute online initial consultation. 

During this time, we can give space what you would like to explore, explain how counselling works and its also your opportunity to ask me any questions and consider if you would like to go ahead with further sessions.
