Ms Claire Foote

Counselor

“A (PACFA) registered Holistic Counsellor. My strengths are in humor, compassion, contextualising feelings, and bringing a broader understanding to who we are. My main formula, is that the better we understand ourselves, the easier we can find the right tools to implement in our lives to alleviate any personal issues.”

About Me

I offer a compassionate space where we can explore your feelings with humour and curiosity. We'll work to contextualise your experiences, bringing a broader understanding to who you are. This deeper self-awareness helps us find the right practical tools for your life. This collaborative approach is ideal for anyone ready to alleviate personal issues by understanding themselves better.

Approach

Sessions move from gentle curiosity into practical steps, using light humour to place feelings in context and open new perspectives. In my clinic in the Illawarra, New South Wales, I work with adolescents, couples, groups and individuals in a calm, paced setting where we balance talk with mindfulness exercises. Between sessions we agree on short practices and reflections so insights turn into manageable changes that ease stress and support life transitions. This way of working suits people facing burnout or navigating big shifts who want a steady, practical path.
