About me and my therapy practice
Hello, my name is Claire. I'm an integrative, trauma-informed counsellor and supervisor, working in private practice in Easington Village, County Durham. I work on a 1-1 basis with adults in person, and remotely, via telephone and zoom.
I believe there are many ways to understand human psychology and wellbeing, therefore I work holistically with clients, integrating theories and approaches to suit their individual needs. I work in collaboration with my client, offering my commitment to building a therapeutic relationship where thoughts, feelings and behaviours can be fully explored together.
Practice description
Alongside my private practice, I work in the charitable sector, counselling individuals who have been subjected to domestic abuse and sexual violence. I have around twenty years experience of working in this area.
My core training includes CBT, person centred and psychodynamic theory. I am committed to continual professional development and have a particular interest in somatic, creative and spiritual resources and the mind/body connection. I have undertaken additional training in somatic trauma therapy and trauma informed practice, The Rewind Technique, mindfulness, compassion focused approaches and creative counselling techniques. I am also a qualified Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner and Breathwork Facilitator. I am currently working towards an MA in Psychotherapy Studies, with a focus on working wildly and creatively.
I am an LGBTQ+ allied therapist and my practice is neurodiversity affirming. I am registered under the Data Protection Act (1998) and hold professional insurance and a clean DBS.
