Anxiety and low mood can be a part of life. However, if you suffer from generalised anxiety and experience depression and low mood over a number of months, there are number of ways that you can alleviate this. DBT/RO-DBT behavioural techniques and psychodynamic therapy can help to get to the root cause.

ADHD

ADHD and ADD can adversely affect attention and focus and cause difficulties at work and in relationships. Claire can help identify and work on the issues of executive control and emotional regulation that cause such relational and task orientated problems.

OCD

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can cause great distress and frustration to people both in their personal and professional lives. Claire can help identify the root of the OCD behaviours in order to decrease such adverse effects on daily life. Behaviours may include intrusive and ruminative thoughts, checking behaviours, issues around germs and contamination, or trichotillomania and dermatillomania.

How it works

If change is needed, therapy makes this possible in a safe space. It isn’t always easy, but the therapeutic process with Claire is there to support, understand and to identify and make the changes needed.

    For me, I can safely say it was the best value for money I have ever spent. No quick fix solutions and treatment was carried out on a personal level with no fixed time scale. Claire gave me so much understanding.
