“ Hi I'm Claire, a qualified BACP counsellor. I'm really happy that you found me and my website, and that you're currently looking at exploring all of the different support options that are available to you.
Finding the right counsellor to work with is such an important step. I also think that it can be something that feels very overwhelming at times, making getting started difficult. This is why I choose to offer a free 20-minute consultation over Zoom. This way we get the opportunity to really start getting to know each other, and figure out (for both of us) if we feel like a good fit. I’ll get to truly understand what it is that you're looking for and start to formulate a plan of how I can help, and you get to start experiencing what it's like to work with me one-on-one before you commit to booking your first session.
One of the things that drives me forward the most as a counsellor, is my belief that everybody deserves to experience being their true authentic self in their lifetime. Trying to achieve that on your own, although possible, can be incredibly daunting and difficult. It is an honour to get to walk alongside beautifully brave people working towards this goal, and then getting to witness them achieve it.
Best wishes, Claire "
