Life throws a lot at you.
Perhaps you are feeling the pressure at work?
Maybe it's hard to switch off at night? Too many worries about your responsibilities going round in your mind.
Do you feel as though you have to carry it all in silence?
You don't!
You don’t have to fix it all alone.
At Self-Talk Claires Counselling I offer practical, private support to help you deal with stress, low mood, anxiety. Somewhere to talk things through and give you the tools to help manage the pressure during those tough times.
No judgement.
No jargon.
Just space to figure things out.
I specialise in helping people notice how they react and behave and how this is stopping them from achieving their goals in life.
I am a fully qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Person Centred Counselling and a Masters in Psychoanalytic Studies.
What does this mean?
It means that you lead the sessions, you bring the issues you would like to talk about and together we stand back and check in with your life. It doesn't mean I will give advice, or tell you what to do.
I have worked with a counselling agency for a number of years before going into private practice, helping people with their anxiety, their work stresses, people who struggle to understand their feelings.
I have experienced helping people from all walks of life who struggle to understand themselves and so have spent many years stuck in the same cycle of behaviour. Doing the same thing again and again.
Together we have pinpointed these behaviours, using our time in sessions to challenge old behaviours so that we can look at different methods, try them out and see if they work.
My clients come away feeling confident that they can take on life in a different way and they choose to do things differently.
Sessions last for 50 minutes, and they will be online, meaning they can fit in with your day. Making them convenient and accessible for you.
Counselling for men with anxiety, social anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship issues and anger.
