If you've ever been labelled as "too complex" or "too self-aware" for other services, then you're exactly the type of person I like to work with. I specialise in supporting people aged 16 to 45, with a strong focus on the Autistic, neurodivergent, non-binary, and queer communities. This is a space built specifically for those who have been dismissed or misunderstood by traditional systems.

Expect a space that’s relaxed, affirming, and built around you. There’s no pressure to show up a certain way. Come as you are, whether that means talking things through, bouncing around ideas, learning practical tips, or just having a supportive, understanding chat. Claire always aims to make the space feel safe, validating, and empowering, and we’ll figure out what works best together. You’re not expected to change who you are to be supported here.

In their time outside of work, Claire loves getting lost in a good book, podcast, tv show or an excitable rant with a mate - whatever form of storytelling their brain can take on at that time. Simply put, they are fascinated by how different people think, and love delving deeply into ideas and thoughts. They also have a special interest in most things British comedy and stand-up - put them in front of any Taskmaster season and they are happy. 

• ADHD - attention, memory, executive functioning, adult journey, sensory regulation, short-acting and long-acting stimulants.

• Anxiety - social and general.

• Autism - AFAB and adult journey, sensory processing, internalised ableism, autistic burnout, unmasking. 

• Borderline Personality Disorder - Distress tolerance, emotion regulation

*Claire’s lived experience also includes differences in sensory processing. This means you may observe them stimming with a fidget toy, or the occasional difference in lighting or level of eye contact. Claire is always happy to address this and look into alternative ways of working if it ever creates an issue for you.
