Claire Caldow – Therapeutic Counsellor & Coach
Therapy that invites growth beyond barriers — guiding you through life’s changes and new beginnings, towards renewal and vitality.
I’m glad you’ve found your way here. You might be navigating a big change, carrying the weight of grief or trauma, feeling overwhelmed by daily life, or searching for a deeper sense of clarity and direction. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
I work with adults and young people, offering a calm, compassionate space to pause, breathe, and feel truly heard. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you.
Alongside talking therapy, I offer creative and sensory approaches that can help you process emotions, regulate your nervous system, and open fresh perspectives. These ways of working often resonate with those who may feel deeply, experience the world in rich layers, or who are drawn to intuitive or imaginative exploration.
This is a space to find calm, clarity, and reconnection — and to move forward feeling empowered and resilient.
The support I offer is grounded in both professional training and lived experience, trauma informed and neuro affirming. I hold an MSc in Psychotherapy & Counselling (Contemporary Creative Approaches); Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling; BA (Hons) in Psychology. I’m an accredited member of the BACP and trained as a Fertility & Family Therapeutic Coach, and Theraplay™ Practitioner — equipping me with a range of approaches to meet you, or your family, where you are and support you in the ways that feel most helpful.
