About me

Hello, I'm Claire, a Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist with over 18 years experience of working therapeutically with adults facing a range of psychological difficulties. I qualified in 2007 and have worked in the NHS in various community-based and in-patient settings. I now work privately and see people from all walks of life with a wide range of psychological difficulties, offering both face to face and online sessions.

I am passionate about helping people to make sense of and overcome whatever is difficult or troublesome in their lives. I strive to adopt an individualised, collaborative approach to support people to achieve their treatment goals and to live life to their full potential.

Areas of interest

I have almost 20 years of experience working therapeutically with adults presenting with a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, low self-esteem and trauma.

In my therapeutic work, I adopt an integrative approach drawing from a range of evidence-based psychological models including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Solution Focused Therapy. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

In addition, I have extensive experience of working with people with acquired neurological conditions and specialise in providing neuropsychological assessment, formulation, rehabilitation and therapeutic support for individuals and families affected by a range of neuropsychological diagnoses including traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and epilepsy.
