At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

Working with Laine has been great. She’s very accommodating as I had a sporadic check in over a few months. When I feel uncertain about things she’s always there to set me on the right path. Will work again in the future most likely

My experience of the NVC level 2 in person retreat was something I will never forget. It was such a deep, vulnerable, transformative weekend. The retreat space was super comfortable, clean and luxurious, the course layout was really well organised and thought out and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The course was such a perfect mixture of safe, comfortable but also challenging, raw, confronting and triggering in the most healthy way for growth. I learned about myself and about humans and how we interact on a deeper level and I felt cracked open in the most beautiful way. The course and the space that Emma facilitated showed me the power of honesty and authenticity in communication as well as the ways I’m still hiding behind masks and ego. Emma did such an amazing job at creating a safe and nurturing space for us to dive deep into uncomfortable situations like honesty or resolving conflict or sitting with trauma responses and I genuinely feel I have been able to take this safety and self awareness home with me and implement it in challenging conversations. I’ve noticed I’m able to stay much more in my body and present for what is going on for me in scenarios which would have had me disassociated and dis regulated before- which is life changing. I left the course with countless golden nuggets of wisdom as well as inspiration and tools to move forward more authentically in my everyday life and connections. The healing magic and community safety and warmth that I experienced will stay with me forever. I couldn’t recommend this course more!!!!

Claire has been brilliant from start to finish with my hypnotherapy experience. In our sessions, I was given the tools to reconnect with my psychological mannerisms and together we created a place of calm and trust where we could collaborate our efforts together in order for her to help me achieve my initial goal, and then some! From the moment I saw her profile on Bark, to the moment we connected on the phone, it was clear she has more than enough experience dealing day in, day out with people who have a whole plethora of reasons they reach out for hypnotherapy. I was skeptical at first, but Claire certainly knows what she’s doing and how to make you feel at ease from first communication. I am extremely pleased with my outcome, and if you’re someone who’s not entirely sure about this type of opportunity, Claire has free downloads, multiple recorded sessions to further solidify her craft and profession, and taster sessions to introduce you to the magical world of hypnotherapy. Give it a go, and you shan’t be disappointed you gave it a try. Thank you Claire for helping me tackle my fears and putting me as ease through this process. 100% recommend.
