Claire | Counsellor
Online Counselling Uxbridge
I specialise in helping individuals who may feel overwhelmed by all the demands placed on them by others. Who struggle to say "no," or find themselves lost in the expectations around them. Who experience anxiety and guilt when they try to put in time for themselves or prioritise their needs.
My role is to help you feel empowered in your own journey, allowing you to find the confidence to embrace your voice and your worth. I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore how to create boundaries, challenge that inner critic and look at what is behind those people pleasing tendencies you may have so that you can move forwards feeling less exhausted from spreading yourself too thinly.
In our sessions we will work together, at your pace, to set goals that are meaningful to you, and I’ll guide you in taking small, intentional steps towards living a life that aligns with your values. You’ll leave each session feeling more empowered, with a renewed sense of clarity and the tools to start creating the life you deserve.
I have personally experienced the journey of learning to set boundaries and stop people-pleasing. I’ve learned how important it is to listen to and honour my own needs, and it’s this understanding that I bring to my work with clients. I know how difficult it can be to break free from patterns that keep you from living authentically.
As an experienced and qualified counsellor I can give you the tools to process and manage any challenges or barriers that you feel have been keeping you stuck in this cycle.
It's never too late to recognise what is keeping us stuck making the same choices again and again.
Let us find your way, at a pace which feels comfortable for you.
Online therapy
I work online.This means that session can easily be slotted into your work day, or the busy schedule you have.
All you need is a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted and you will feel able to talk about the things you would like to.
I have counselled people at home, in their office and sometimes people feel comfortable being outside. It's entirely up to you.
Online counselling can offer that versatility.
We can not have a session if you are driving in your car, for safety reasons, or in a very noisy crowded space.
I will send out a link for our meeting when I receive your payment for the session.
Any issues with our internet connection and we can continue that session on the phone, this has proved successful for many of my clients, or we can rebook the session.
I too guarantee complete confidentiality in the space I am in. I work within the ethical guidelines of the BACP.

Most common issues I support people with:
People pleasing - This can be especially challenging for people working in caring professions. If you spend your day looking after others and putting their needs first it can be extremely hard and uncomfortable to find the time to do that for yourself.
Boundary setting - Always taking those calls, always saying yes when you are absloutely exhausted, and when you do say no, being swamped by feelings of guilt, of letting others down. Not quite sure where to start or even how to find ways of honouring those friendships whilst still looking after yourself. In our session we can use the time to practise and talk about how this may look to you in your life.
Inner critic - What's this? It's that little voice that tells you what you're doing wrong, that you're letting people down, that you're never enough. We can look at this voice and see what it's purpose is so that you can quieten it down and learn to be proud of what you are achieving.
Self-esteem - What is it that makes you so hard on yourself? What messages have you received through your life that may have worn you down and left you feeling less than you are worth?
Unconscious behaviour - Sometimes we feel so stuck and lost, we feel like we are doing our best but nothing seems to change or go our way. We can look at how you react and behave so that we can understand those unconscious ways which are keeping you going round and round in the same old cycle.
