Claire’s approach to Therapy and Counselling in London
CLINICAL SETTINGS
I have worked for 13 years as a trauma informed psychotherapist, including working for the NHS in South West London, a women’s charity centre in Kingston, Nuffield Health and in private practice, I worked as Clinical Director for Khiron Clinics IOP London, providing trauma informed care in groups, individual sessions, and as an assessor.
MY BACKGROUND
I trained as an integrative psychotherapist and counselling psychologist
on an MA programme at Regent’s University London. I am a fully qualified and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I hold a BA Hons in Business and Finance and have a background as an entrepreneur, running a design company for 20+ years. Managing my business has deepened my understanding of work related stress,and also allows me to assist with personal career and professional development, work-life balance, leadership skills, stress management, goal setting and time management.
I worked from a multi disciplinary perspective - co creating a therapy team in Chiswick Park -providing therapy within a business park for corporations.
I also work extensively with adolescents, students and young people to help with stress, anxiety and the pressures of our modern society.
