"Out of Office is now on." I'm on annual leave until the 10th of April, 2026. I will get back to you on my return.

Perhaps you are struggling with grief and feel lost. Maybe anxiety is keeping you awake at night, or you feel depressed and very alone. I can support you with talking about your feelings of loss, anxiety, or individual relationship struggles, helping you to become stronger and calmer. 

I work with a variety of issues with adults, with a focus on attachment and loss, anxiety and depression. I am a registered member of the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø and abide by the Ethical Framework to ensure good practice.

How Counselling can help  

Exploring loss, anxiety or shame through the lens of attachment can bring you clarity. Sharing your feelings with a counsellor can help you make sense of your relationships, individual struggles and help you understand yourself and others in your life. This awareness of attachment patterns and defences can help you learn new ways to relate to others, where you will feel heard and valued for who you are. 

Counselling can help you feel more positive about yourself, supporting you to build healthy boundaries in your relationships. 

I understand that counselling can feel daunting, so I offer a free 20-minute video or telephone call to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you.

If you would like a face-to-face session, we can meet in the beautiful wellness rooms in Tur Langton, Leicestershire, on Tuesdays, which is a lovely, peaceful space, or in Oakham at the Rutland Therapy Centre on Mondays. 

I also work online from my home in Rutland, so if you would prefer an online session, once we have agreed on a time, I will send out a link for my online platform, doxy.me. 

What is person-centred therapy?

Person-centred therapy is a non-directive talking therapy, which places you at the heart of the session. I listen and will reflect on your thoughts so that you can hear and understand yourself more clearly. I believe you are the expert on yourself, so although I don't give advice, I will offer insights and collaborate with you to help you focus on your feelings and thoughts in the here and now. I will support you with understanding your attachment patterns and the way you communicate with others and help you to set healthy boundaries. 

I work intuitively, offering you the opportunity to explore deeper feelings at your own pace with a focus on the connection between the mind and the body. Trauma, loss and anxiety can become stuck in the body. I will bring awareness to where this energy is in your body so we can unravel it, helping you gain more understanding about the root of any feelings of grief, anxiety or depression. 

I use a variety of techniques, such as offering you the opportunity to focus on where energy and feelings are stored in the body. Breathing techniques to connect the mind and body, and journal prompts if this feels comfortable. I can help you learn tools to build your strength and resilience, helping you to overcome challenges.

I offer a space, either face-to-face or online, where you will feel seen and heard. Knowing you are not alone and acknowledged will give you the confidence to explore deeper wounds and begin the healing process. 

If you wish to make an appointment after our introductory call, I will send out the contract, policies and payment details, which will explain everything you need to know about how I work. 

We can discuss this further in the first session while working through an assessment process together. I will ask you some questions about your family history, relationships, and your goals for counselling.

This is a collaborative process, and one which we can work through together at your own pace. 

Sessions can be long- or short-term, weekly or fortnightly.

I'm Claire, a person-centred and attachment-based counsellor, offering face-to-face counselling at the Rutland Therapy Centre in Oakham, Rutland. I also offer online counselling if you prefer.

Is anxiety keeping you up at night, or are you feeling depressed and very alone? I can help you to talk about feelings of loss, anxiety or individual relationship struggles and help you become stronger and calmer.

How Counselling can help

Perhaps you are experiencing grief and are constantly angry or sad. I know how difficult it is to share your anxiety or to speak about your grief with family or friends. My work for the bereavement charity Cruse has been enormously enriched by the experience of losing someone close to me. It can be such a relief to be able to talk to someone outside your family or circle of friends, because you know you can speak openly and you’re not a burden. 

Counselling can help you feel more positive about yourself, supporting you to build healthy boundaries in your relationships. Exploring loss, anxiety or shame through the lens of attachment can bring you clarity. 

I work intuitively, allowing you to explore your feelings at your own pace with a focus on the mind-body connection. Trauma, loss and anxiety can get stuck in the body.

My Approach

Person-Centred Therapy

I create a warm and welcoming space where you can truly feel seen and heard. Person-centred therapy is a non-directive talking therapy, which places you at the heart of the session. I listen and will reflect on your thoughts so that you can hear and understand yourself more clearly. I believe you are the expert on yourself, so although I don't give advice, I will offer insights and collaborate with you to help you focus on your feelings and thoughts in the here and now. 

Attachment therapy 

I also work with attachment to help you understand your attachment history and relational patterns, providing valuable insights into yourself and your relationships. By increasing your awareness of these patterns, you can learn new ways to communicate, help you to establish healthy boundaries and feel more secure in relationships.

Exploring feelings of loss, anxiety, or shame through attachment can bring clarity. Sharing your emotions with a counsellor can help you navigate your relationships and personal challenges, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and others. Awareness of these patterns can lead to more meaningful connections where you feel valued.

I use a variety of techniques, such as focusing on where energy and feelings are stored in the body. Breathing techniques to connect the mind and body, and journal prompts if this feels comfortable. I can help you learn tools to build your strength and resilience, helping you to overcome challenges.

I also work creatively, using a variety of tools such as music, therapeutic cards, coloured pens and paper, and buttons, allowing you to explore more deeply when it is difficult to express through words alone.

Sharing your feelings in a safe space can guide you in untangling your individual struggles and relationships, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you. 

If you wish to make an appointment after our introductory call and confirm your session date, I will send out the contract, policies and payment details which will explain everything you need to know about how I work. 

We can discuss this further in the first session while working through an assessment process together. I will ask you some questions about your medical history, your family history, relationships, and current situation. 

We can also talk about whether you're looking for short-term support or something more long-term. The most important thing is for you to feel comfortable, and you're free to decide whether you want to continue after our initial meeting.

Counselling is a collaborative process, so we will work together to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This will help you make sense of difficult emotions and learn to trust yourself again. Through our connection, you will learn how you relate to others now and in the past. This awareness can help you make sense of what is happening within your relationships and your attachments with others.

We will regularly check in on our progress together and determine whether we should continue or conclude our work. Sessions will typically be 50 minutes to an hour.
