Hi, I'm Claire. If you're looking for a counsellor, perhaps you're feeling uncertain or disconnected from your emotions and are seeking a more authentic sense of self. You might be living with anxiety, inner conflict, or low self-esteem, and are looking for ways to better regulate your emotions and feel more at ease within yourself. Perhaps you're facing challenges in your relationships or noticing recurring patterns that you don’t fully understand but want to change.

Together, we’ll explore the different layers of your experience, past and present, to develop a deeper understanding of who you are and how you’ve come to be. This growing self-awareness can lead to richer, more fulfilling relationships - with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.

A former lawyer, I struggled for years with anxiety and body dysmorphic disorder. I'm now passionate about helping others through their own struggles, whatever they may be. I offer a safe space to explore who you are, and who you want to become. A Íø±¬ÃÅ registered counsellor, I offer therapy in central Winchester, Hursley, in nature and online. I have experience working with clients with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, bereavement, trauma, relationship difficulties, addictions, eating disorders and body image struggles.

Visit my website to learn more about my approach, and don’t hesitate to give me a call for an initial chat. I look forward to hearing from you. 

While trained in the Humanistic approach, with a focus on Transactional Analysis, I work in an integrative way, adapting my approach to suit you. I aim to create an empathic and non-judgemental environment in which you can explore yourself and your life. 

I offer counselling in central Winchester or Hursley or online. The Hursley room is based in beautiful landscaped gardens and woodland, which we can explore in our sessions if you would like. Many people find walking in nature whilst talking through their difficulties deeply healing. 

The first session provides an opportunity for me to gather a detailed history, understand the challenges you're facing, and explore what you hope to gain from therapy. It's also a chance for you to get a feel for how I work, and together we can begin to co-create a personalised path forward.
