Claire is teaching a spring intake on the Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling.

A practicing person-centered therapist since 2003, Claire quickly moved towards an integrative approach to therapy, believing therapy should always fit the client’s way of being and culture.

Claire has worked in community and youth agency settings, as a senior school counsellor, in private practice, run multiple personal development workshops, worked for the NHS as part of their mental health and wellbeing team, and more recently was invited to teach at the Iron Mill College in Exeter.

Claire has been a home educator, running weekly groups and workshops for home educating families. This sparked an interest in children with neuro-diverse brains. Since then, Claire has worked extensively with diagnosed and undiagnosed neuro-diverse adults with mental health issues.

Claire is keenly interested in spiritual healing and has written a book called Belief, Intention & Intuition.

Qualifications: Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy Reg. MBACP. 

Role: Lecturer on the Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
