Welcome to Claire Ballard Therapy
Hi, I am Claire; thank you for visiting.
​​
I know that taking the first step towards counselling can be very daunting. Take your time to look around my website and I hope that you find all the information you need. If you can’t find what you are looking for, please contact me with any questions you have.
I am a therapeutic counsellor offering counselling for adults from all walks of life and who are experiencing a wide range of challenges. I use an integrative model, which means that I can be flexible and draw on different counselling approaches driven by the unique needs of my client. This can include person-centred, cognitive behavioural (CBT) and psychodynamic therapies. I will not provide answers or solutions, instead supporting and empowering you to explore your issues, validate your experiences and identify a way forward.
I am also a researcher in developmental psychology, combining my therapy practice with expertise in mental health research. I am passionate about supporting people to understand the factors affecting their mental health and increase their self-awareness to bring more balance, resilience and contentment to their lives. Through my work with clients, I have developed a greater appreciation of the human experience and how our life histories can have such a profound impact on our wellbeing.​
​
I look forward to hearing from you.
