Arbor Counselling
Local, Professional Counselling Therapy in Coulsdon, Purley, South Croydon and Sutton
Hello and Welcome
There are many reasons people consider having counselling and psychotherapy. You may be unclear about what brought you here, perhaps things just don’t feel right and it is hard to identify what is keeping you stuck. You may have become exhausted in your search for a way through it.
Perhaps you need short-term support for a bump in the road. Whatever has led you here, I offer you a safe space in which to explore your challenges and support you on your journey to finding clarity, peace and understanding. Acknowledging that you need support is a huge courageous step.
The variety of human experience is such that we are all completely unique. This makes the world a more exciting place. However, I also understand that it can feel terrifying to express your truest self.
Working in an integrative way means that I can combine theoretical approaches, depending on what best suits you. Due to my background in art, we can work creatively if you wish, a powerful way to express thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words. Primarily, I believe that building a mutually trusting relationship, a human connection, is at the core of successful therapy. My focus is always on supporting you to find clarity, peace and a way forward.
About Me
Hello, I am Claire. I offer counselling in Croydon and on the Surrey borders. I use comfortable rooms in Coulsdon, Sutton and South Croydon. I also offer Walk and Talk (outdoor) therapy, and online counselling. During counselling with me, you can expect my empathy, non-judgment, care and openness. Within a safe and confidential space, I invite you to explore the topics and life challenges you bring to sessions, in your own time.
I strive to work in a gender affirming, queer affirming and neurotype affirming way. My therapy rooms are as sensory-considerate as possible. I welcome and embrace the exploration of cultural expression and spirituality of many different traditions and faiths.
You are valued here.
Approaches
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that no two individuals are the same, so no two therapeutic journeys are the same. You know you, much better than anyone else does. I tailor my practice for each person.
Our work together will be guided by what suits your needs. I believe that we all have the means within us to move forward despite our challenges. I will support you to discover yours.
