Claire Douglas
Integrative counsellorAbout Me
Hello and welcome. My name is Claire and I am an integrative counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I offer integrative counselling. This form of therapy is a combination of different psychological theories and therapeutic approaches, which can be tailor-made depending on a client’s needs and way of working. I work to offer clients a safe, confidential, non-judgmental, and empathic environment so to speak freely about their presenting problems and work to overcome difficult obstacles in their life (whether past, present or future).
Below is a list of various therapies I can offer. Bear in mind, these therapies can be combined.
- Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic Therapy
- Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Solution-Focused Therapy (SFP)
- Person-Centred Therapy (PCT)
- Gestalt Therapy
All interactions within counselling, including the scheduling of your appointments, attendance at appointments, the content of your sessions, progress in counselling, and your records are kept confidential in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
