Talk Therapy with Claire

I am a DBT-informed therapist working with adults and young people who experience intense emotions, complex mental health difficulties, or who have felt misunderstood in previous therapy or mental health services.  Accepting, calm and compassionate approach.  I support people living with anxiety, depression, psychosis-related experiences, addiction, grief, and long-standing family or relationship challenges.  Online therapy available across the UK.
