Hi, I'm Claire.  

I am a Person Centred Therapist based in Sale, South Manchester. 

I also practice Cognitive Behavioural and Expressive Arts Therapies. 

I have a Service Dog, called Rudy Wigglesworth,  that can be requested to attend sessions for Animal Assisted Therapy. 

I work with individuals and couples that are looking to enhance their connection to themselves, and/or looking to rebuild the bond within their relationships. I also work with power struggles, and conflict as a result of poor communication, lack of trust, or infidelity. 

I am a trauma informed therapist, with a strong focus on stress and anxiety management, low/mood depression, procrastination, and professional performance.

I have expertise in working with Neurodivergent individuals. With a focus on initial diagnosis and management of the condition thereafter.

I have my own therapy room in Sale, South Manchester. Where I provide a safe, secure and confidential space  I will listen to you without judgement, accept you and value you. 

I  work alongside you so that you can relax, feel able to open up and talk about your thoughts and feelings, no matter how difficult they may feel. 

I provide you with the support, resources and reassurance to help you achieve a path to your ideal self. I will show you how to  manage anxiety, stress and depression. I will demonstrate grounding techniques, how to self regulation and self soothe.

Together we will explore the root cause of your struggles, and set objectives so that you can quickly and successfully reach positive outcomes. 

Therapy with me will allow you to gain your sense of self back, focus on your identity, and self image. You will learn to  reframe  negative  thoughts, or negative coping strategies. You will achieve happiness, and strength to move forward through life in a positive manner. Life is short, and you deserve better happy and feel in control. 

In my studies I have specialised in Human Communication, Person Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Trauma and Resilience. 

I am a trauma informed therapist and use creative/expressive arts, and linguistics to encourage you to explore and express yourself more freely. 

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

I have a Service Dog, called Rudy Wigglesworth, and he is available to attend sessions should he be required. 

I am police checked with an Enhanced DBS.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy via: face to face, Zoom, telephone, email, WhatsApp, or home visits. 

I am based in Sale, South Manchester.

I offer a safe and calm space where I will listen to you without judgement, and provide a place of acceptance, non-judgement and authenticity.  

Please note that I offer sessions at a concessionary rate. I am keen to ensure that therapy is accessible for all. This is for individuals on a low income.

The first session is a free 20 minute chat, which can be over the telephone, face to face or video call. 

This will be an opportunity to get a feel as to whether you would feel comfortable working alongside me.
