Hello I’m Clair! I’m completing my counselling training at Sheffield College. I bring my previous experience to my work as a counsellor including as a researcher in areas around justice, race, health, and creativity. As a researcher I developed skills of creating a welcoming space and listening to individuals to help them unpack complex experiences they have had. I am also a documentary filmmaker whose primary focus is films around well-being, mental health recovery, and empowerment.  I have a strong belief in the ability of people to heal and grow, and a great respect for the many different types of wisdom that exist in the world.

My approach

I work in a non-directive Humanistic way. As your counsellor, I will be different from you in any number of ways, but my aim is to understand your experience from your perspective and walk with you wherever you wish to go.

I work to be an active anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ ally, and disability and neurodiversity affirming counsellor.
