Hi I'm Claire.

 

​I’ve been a Registered Clinical Psychologist since 2016, but my path into this work began long before that. Since 2008, I’ve worked across the NHS, prisons, and secure hospitals, and I was struck by how often people felt unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed by their own histories. Those experiences taught me how powerful it can be when someone finally feels understood.

​

​

My work is guided by my values of compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s story. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and grounded in genuine human connection — not something done to you, but something we navigate together.

​

​

I’ve supported adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, and I’ve seen how trauma, grief and loss, attachment experiences, and relationship patterns can shape a person’s life. Helping people make sense of these experiences — and reconnect with their own strength — is at the heart of my practice.

​

​

Alongside my therapeutic work, I draw on my extensive experience in forensic and secure settings to provide psychological risk assessments for Parole Board hearings and the courts. I also offer clinical supervision and bespoke training packages, supporting practitioners and organisations to develop thoughtful, trauma‑informed, formulation‑led approaches to their work.

​

Whether I’m working with individuals or within wider systems, my focus is on providing compassion, clarity, and a deep respect for people’s experiences, supporting thoughtful understanding and informed decision‑making.
