More about Claire

5 years' experience
Female
BACP

Hi my name is Claire King and I am a qualified integrative counsellor working with adults, children and couples. I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and psychotherapists - BACP and I practice within the guidelines of their ethical framework. I am passionate about supporting other people through difficult times In their lives and have 4 years experience working with the Samaritans. I have been working in a psychodynamic and integrative approach with clients over the past 4 years.

Sometimes we can feel 'stuck' and life throws us challenges that can feel overwhelming with feelings of anxiety, sadness or anger which get in the way of us moving forward. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where together we can explore your current situation and where past traumatic experiences and feelings can be thought about. Emotional and psychological difficulties can become problematic and have a negative impact on our everyday life. By building a trusting therapeutic relationship, where you can feel heard and understood, can lead to greater self-awareness. Identifying where repetitive patterns of behaviour may underlie your presenting symptoms can be the insight we need to make positive changes.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
