As your counselor, Claire is committed to providing her clients with a safe and confidential environment for the purposes of improving mental health and well-being. During a typical session, Claire listens to and supports her clients, while challenging them when appropriate. She helps her clients identify maladaptive patterns of thinking, gather real-life evidence, then integrate and adopt more realistic and positive belief systems. When we think better, we feel and behave healthier too. She tailors her skills to meet the needs of her clients, wherever they may be in their journey, while collaborating with them to formulate achievable goals.
