Therapy that works for you
People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, struggling with relationships or finding it difficuly to make sense of past experiences. sometimes, it's simply the feeling that something isnt quote right, even if you're unsure why.
I believe counselling should be as individual as the person seeking it.
As a registered member of the BACP, I offer a person-centred, integrative approach, tailoring our sessions to your individual needs, experiences and what you hope to gain from therapy.
Our work together is guided by you, with space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. I draw on different therapeutic perspectives where helpful, including attachment, relationships and the connection between mind and body.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach . My aim is to support you in developing a greater understanding of yourself, your experiences, recognising patterns and finding ways forward that feel right for you.
What can counselling Help With?
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including:
Trauma & difficult experiences
Grief & loss
Divorce, seperation, life changes and transitions
Relationships and attachment
Complex family dynamics
Anxiety and overwhelm
Self-esteem and self-worth
Shame and self-criticism
About me
Hello, I'm Claire.
I'm a qualified, person-centred counsellor working within adults in Shrewsbury and online.
My journey into counselling came after many years working in senior roles within the banking and retail sectors. Alongside my professional life, I experiencced some of the challenges and pressures that life can bring, which sparked a growing interest in understanding ourselves, our relationships and the experiences that shape us.
Eventually, I made the decision to retrain as a counsellor, bringing together my professional experience, personal understanding and genuine interest in supporting others.
Today, my work is grounded in person-centred therapy, with an Integrative approach that draws on attachment, relationships and the connection between our emotional and physical experiences.
I believe that understanding ourselves more deeply can help us recognise patterns, make sense of our responses and begin to approach life with greater awareness and compassion.
How I work
Explore face-to-face counselling in Shrewsbury Town Centre at my private office or via walk and talk therapy outdoors. I also offer online video sessions via Google Meet.
We might talk 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 integrates the natural surroundings into our sessions, offering a unique opportunity to ground all five senses and enrich the therapeutic experience through the calming presence of nature.

“When I came to Claire I was felt broken and didnt know how to navigate my way through my issues. Claire makes me feel heard and has validated my feelings through so much of what I was going on. I'm able to talk about everything with absolutely no judgement. She's given me so many tools and coping strategies, and has opened my mind to so much. Im so happy I found Claire and always look forward to our sessions.”
"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."
"Claire has been incredibly supportive and insightful, truly made a positive impact on me just after a couple of sessions. Her approach is
thoughtful with an amazingly welcoming environment where she makes sure that you feel safe and comfortable."
