Claire Thomas-Davis Counselling
A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
My name is Claire and I am a qualified counsellor providing face to face, outdoor and online therapy in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
Welcome
“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” – Brene Brown
Welcome to a space of empathy, understanding, and care.
I know firsthand how overwhelming life can become. My path into counselling was born from my own personal experiences, during a time when I was juggling intense emotions, a demanding career, young children, challenging co-parenting dynamics, and financial stress.
Counselling offered me a safe, non-judgmental space to heal and reconnect with myself and those around me. It became a lifeline, allowing me to work through my past and shape a more authentic future.
As a BACP and MNCPS counsellor in Shrewsbury, I draw from a variety of therapeutic methods, rooted in Person-Centred therapy. My approach also includes mind-body techniques, such as grounding and somatic therapies, helping you find calm and resilience. Together, we’ll create a therapeutic journey that’s uniquely tailored to your needs, where you feel seen, heard, and supported.
A Space for Healing, Discovery, and Growth
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs and help you move toward your goals. Together, we’ll develop new coping strategies, shift limiting patterns, and create space for self-repair, self-discovery, and self-compassion. My aim is to help you uncover your own solutions by recognising your inner strengths and nurturing your emotional well-being.
In a safe, confidential environment, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your challenges with someone outside your daily life. This isn’t about receiving advice or quick fixes but about empowering you to embrace change on your terms.
We’ll work collaboratively to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, deepening your understanding of yourself. Through this process, you can find new perspectives, healing, and growth. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, accepted, and truly understood within a compassionate, non-judgmental space designed for your healing and transformation.
Finding Your Way Back to Yourself
Do you feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or lost? Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, or feeling disconnected from who you truly are? Perhaps your emotions feel out of control, or you've grown numb and burnt out. Maybe your relationships aren't as fulfilling as you'd like, or past experiences are still weighing heavily on your heart, preventing you from moving forward.
Whether you're navigating significant life transitions—such as divorce, loss, co-parenting challenges, or the effects of coercive behavior and abuse—or you're dealing with persistent anxiety, worry, or feelings of being "too sensitive," there is a path to healing. Even if you're grappling with depression, hopelessness, or a lack of motivation, know that support is here.
Imagine being able to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and build the tools to regain a sense of control. Together, we can work on helping you become more present in your life, manage your emotions with compassion, and set healthy boundaries that honor your needs.
In our sessions, you'll find a safe and supportive space to explore your worries, unpack your thoughts, and express your deepest feelings. Talking therapy can be a powerful guide, helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom, fostering healing, and cultivating lasting change.

How I work
Explore face-to-face counselling in Shrewsbury at The Roy Fletcher Centre or using walk and talk therapy outdoors in Shropshire. I also offer online sessions at a time convenient for you.
We might include talking about life events (past, present, future), feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. It can be a space to look at coping strategies, relaxation techniques or general tools to help you feel more in control of yourself and your life.
Therapy can be helpful when you’re living with painful emotions, facing difficult decisions or trying to improve/change relationships. It can help you to develop a better understanding of yourself and others.
Walk and talk outdoor therapy can use the surroundings to enhance our therapeutic engagement and use nature to ground all 5 senses
“I always really look forward to my meeting with Claire and she really gets me which is brilliant. Im getting exactly what I need from sessions and Im so glad I took this step.”
"Claire is incredibly empathetic, and from our very first session, we dove right into meaningful discussions. I appreciate how she highlights specific points from our conversations that warrant further exploration, which opens my eyes to new perspectives. Her blend of experience and professionalism creates a safe space where I feel comfortable expressing myself."
