Psychotherapy, Clinical Supervision & Training
Relational, reflective work for people who value psychological depth
Hi - I'm Claire. If you’re here looking for a psychotherapist, I want first to acknowledge the courage and care that goes into that search. Reaching for therapy is often a significant emotional and financial step, and one of the most important elements is finding someone who feels like a good fit. For me, the quality of the therapeutic relationship — and the way we attend to and work within that relationship — is central to meaningful and lasting change.
I offer psychotherapy for adults, as well as clinical supervision and training for practitioners and organisations. My work overall is grounded in humanistic and psychodynamic thinking, and shaped by a deep interest in how emotional experience, identity, creativity, and the wider contexts of our lives come to shape our inner worlds.
Whether working face to face or online, I aim to create spaces that feel thoughtful, emotionally alive, and well-contained — places where difficult experiences can be explored with care, curiosity, and respect.
Four ways to begin
I provide individual psychotherapy for adults seeking depth, understanding, and change — particularly where feelings or relationships feel complex, intense, or hard to hold alone.
I offer a reflective, relational supervisory space where complexity, uncertainty and emotional impact can be explored safely, with care, curiosity, and respect.
Psychologically informed training integrating theory, lived experience, and reflective practice, tailored to professional and organisational contexts.
I collaborate with partners from the music industry, education, and academia. Find out more information about this work here.

Relational and integrative
My overall approach is influenced by relational psychoanalysis as well as humanistic thinking alongside existential, somatic, and occasionally, some cognitive behaviour approaches for psychoeducation and resource management. Essentially, I work integratively, which means combining different approaches with the intention of supporting the development of a coherent and grounded sense of self. I also pay close attention to the therapeutic relationship that is co-created, which I see as a key part of therapy work, as well as holding in mind the wider social, cultural, racialised, and relational contexts that can shape a person’s lived experience.
I am a trained EMDR therapist and have done additional training in sensorimotor and body breath energy approaches. For me, we are a multiplicity of parts, our thoughts are important and so is our somatic experience and embodiment. I approach EMDR from an attachment-aware and Internal Family Systems position and combine it with other approaches as relevant.
I aim to offer a space that is emotionally engaged and reflective, where there is space for all parts of the mind and body — one where complexity can be held without being rushed or reduced.
