Counselling
Counselling is a structured, confidential, and safe talking therapy where a qualified professional helps you explore some personal issues, emotions and behaviours you wish to address.
It focuses on enabling you and supporting you with designing your own unique solutions, with gaining self-understanding and with improving your coping skills rather than providing you with a one-fit-for all direct advice.
Counselling is built upon a foundation of ethical principles, trained therapeutic skills and a theoretical framework.
Claire's main pillar for supporting people via counselling is her Deep Knowledge of The Nervous System, her Empathy with a profound sense of care, and a passion for the art of Navigating the Emotional System, with a special interest for Depression.
While different practitioners use different techniques, we all offer a non-judgmental confidential and safe space.
Claire has qualified as an Integrative counsellor for adults and young people.
Integrative Counselling weaves together the core ideas of different theories such as Solution-Focused-Brief-Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance-Commitment-Therapy (ACT), based on what is most appropriate and effective for each presenting client.
Her methods are based on the belief that everyone has an inherent drive for personal growth and the potential to find their own solutions (Humanistic person-Centred Approach), knowing that every person is unique and requires a tailored approach.
Counselling sessions are always tailored for each individual and their specific presentation of issues.
It is there to support individual with mental health, assisting for example with depression, low self-esteem or anxiety.
An initial phone conversation will allow you to ask Claire any question in regards to your specific situation.
A variety of techniques can be drawn upon including deep tissue work, joint articulations, stretching, manipulations, as well as more subtle techniques building the awareness as in breathing retraining.
We diagnose and treat musculo-skeletal conditions.

She moved to Gloucestershire UK to establish a successful private practise for Osteopathy and Massage together her partner Wesley Tan.
Treatments are targeted to aches and pains and will include a clear diagnosis, a manual treatment with articulations and massage techniques and manipulations as appropriate.
Claire's experience as a professional dancer and Stretch and Core teacher for 25 years makes her very clear about advising on progressive exercise to support the benefit of the treatment.
“I have been having problem with my neck and back for over 20 years and I have seen many osteopaths, chiropractors and masseurs. In the past 3 years, I have been visiting Claire and I can confidently say, she is the best osteopath I have ever visited. Not only she is incredibly intuitive, she is physically strong and gets right to the root of the problem areas. Amazing!”
