Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
If life feels overwhelming, therapy can help you find a way forward. My aim is simple: to help you feel better, think more clearly and feel more in control of your life.
Whether you are struggling with illness, anxiety, relationships, difficult emotions or unwanted habits, we can work together to make things feel more manageable.
I take a whole-person approach. We look at what is happening in your mind and body, as well as the relationships and circumstances that shape your life. I will help you understand what you need and develop practical ways to feel better and make lasting changes.
I can help with things like anxiety, low mood, smoking, drinking, binge eating, nail biting, doom scrolling and other habits you would like to change. I can also help you build healthier behaviours, greater confidence and emotional resilience.
My approach combines Human Givens therapy where we look at whether your basic emotional needs are being met, hypnotherapy, and Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT). You will have tools and practical resources to use between sessions, including recordings and handouts.
