Claire

Ms Claire Douglas

Counselor

“My name is Claire and I am an integrative counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychothery (BACP).”

About Me

As an integrative counsellor, I create a welcoming space for you. We can explore whatever feels challenging, from difficult emotions to life transitions. I tailor our work to your unique needs. Together, we'll make sense of experiences and find practical ways forward. Expect a collaborative approach, fostering greater clarity and well-being. This suits anyone seeking personalised support to navigate their path and foster lasting change.

Approach

Sessions are paced to suit you, mixing attentive listening with focused reflection so we can gently unpack strong emotions and life changes. I offer appointments in Hornchurch and online in English, choosing the setting that feels safest and most practical for you. Work usually combines practical coping ideas, simple grounding and space to notice patterns, with brief tasks between sessions to test what helps in everyday life. This way of working often suits adults and older clients seeking steady, collaborative support through loss, anxiety or recovery.
