Claire | Integrative Psychotherapist

Counselling Preston

Hello. I'm Claire. I’m a Preston-based Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering compassionate, care-filled counselling to adults. I experience myself as calm, reflective and approachable, with a great sense of humour and a creative approach to life.

I’m currently employed part-time as a counsellor in Higher Education. I’m a Mum of 2 teenagers and previously worked as a High School teacher for 16 + years. I’ve experienced for myself the impact of burnout and how counselling can be transformative. Having also worked with neurodivergent adults, with people with learning disabilities and within the charity sector supporting unpaid carers, I’ve got plenty of life experience to help me to empathise and connect with people in my counselling work.

I use an Emotionally Focused Integrative Counselling approach, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches to fit your individual needs. The relationship between us is what holds the different strategies together, so that we find a way to work that feels a good fit for you.

If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message.

Online therapy

I can offer online sessions via MS Teams.

I prefer not to provide a "tick list" of all the issues I can potentially work with - as I work with people, rather than "issues".
