Psychotherapist, Body-Oriented Coach, Consultant, Facilitator

Since qualifying as a psychotherapist in 2006, Claire has built deep expertise in complex trauma and vicarious trauma, supporting both those directly affected and those impacted through proximity. She works through individual and group sessions, consultation and clinical supervision.

Her background spans forensics, working with young men and prison staff, as well as specialist study in child, adolescent and family dynamics. Alongside this, she nurtures special interests in education, relationship dynamics and whole bodymind approaches. Her additional training as a Somatic Body Oriented Coach richly enhances her work.

Claire’s experience across the NHS, charities and private practice has shown her how vital it is to support not only individuals but also entire systems. She has seen first-hand the detrimental effects of inadequate support when working with challenging material. This drives her commitment to empowering individuals, teams and organisations to sustain wellness, resilience and creativity.
