Hello, my name is Claire and I'm an experienced couples counsellor. I'm also a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist, CPCAB Level 4 Diploma trained, and a registered member of the BACP. I understand that starting counselling can feel daunting, especially if you are unsure what to expect. My role is to create a warm and calm space where you can feel safe, supported, and able to share your concerns at your own pace. In our first meeting, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and building trust. I’ll take time to understand your needs, expectations, and goals for therapy, so we can work together in a way that feels constructive and respectful. My approach is person-centred and non-judgemental. I’ll help you unpick the issues in your relationship, explore your perspectives, and improve how you listen to one another. This process often eases resentment and helps you reconnect, either to rebuild your relationship or to move forward more amicably if separation feels right. My aim is always to help you both communicate your needs more clearly, feel validated, and develop healthier ways of relating.

She has worked with couples facing issues such as loss of connection, betrayal, depression, and communication breakdown.  Her professional background is rooted in creating safe, confidential spaces for clients, where openness and mutual respect are central to the work. ## How I Can Help I offer a safe, neutral space where you can both talk openly and feel equally heard. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and dynamics in your relationship to understand what’s really going on. I’ll encourage you to listen and truly understand each other’s perspective, not just hear the words. I can share practical tools to improve communication and ease the resentment that may have built up. Most importantly, I’ll support you in moving forward — whether that’s reconnecting as a couple or separating with kindness and respect. ## Specialisations Psychosexual Therapy Addiction and Substance Use in Relationships Fertility and Reproductive Challenges Polyamorous and Non Monogamous Relationships Neurodiversity in Relationships Gender Diversity in Relationships ## Therapy Approaches Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Gottman Method Couples Therapy Imago Relationship Therapy General Couples Counselling Attachment Based Couples Therapy Integrative Couples Therapy Psychodynamic Couples Therapy Systemic Couples Therapy Cognitive Behavioural Couples Therapy (CBT for Relationships) Solution Focused Couples Therapy Trauma Informed Couples Therapy Sex Therapy for Couples ## Problems I Help With Communication problems and not feeling heard Conflict and frequent arguments Relationship Problems Feeling distant, disconnected, or stuck Trust issues and infidelity Intimacy and sexual difficulties Jealousy and insecurity Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns Deciding whether to stay together or separate Navigating long distance relationships Separation and divorce support Life transitions and big changes ## Qualifications - Level 4 Diploma in Counselling ## Professional Memberships - British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) View Claire's Upcoming Availability 42 slots Next available: Sunday 30th August · 08:00 ## View Claire's Upcoming Availability Next available: Sunday 30th August · 08:00 · next 2 weeks Step 1 — Choose how you would like to meet Required Online Secure video session Times below update based on your choice.
