Claire Cooke
Counsellor
Hello, I’m Claire, and I hugely understand how strange and unknown it can feel choosing a counsellor, especially if you haven’t navigated this world before.
Let me try and reassure you a bit. My work is rooted in the belief that your life matters immensely and that you are a person of value who deserves to be listened to, seen, and believed. I am here to support you in liberation from oppressive systems, social restraints, and patterns that no longer serve you. I will facilitate your healing process, a process that for many of us started in a childhood that felt out of sync. I hope to help you move towards living fully within a community in which you feel seen, understood and valued.
I am a neuro-affirming therapist who's area of interest is supporting those navigating ADHD, including those diagnosed later in life. My practice is inclusive, anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ aware and sex-positive, providing a space where all parts of your identity are welcome.
About me
In therapy, I aim to offer a space where these experiences can be explored without judgement or pressure to fit a particular narrative. Whether you are seeking clarity, support through a period of change, or simply somewhere to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, we can work together at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in the belief that feeling understood can be an important first step towards meaningful change. I honour the complexity of each person's lived experience and approach our work together with cultural humility and openness. I work in a person-centred way within the framework of attachment. You do not need to fit any mould to be here.
My approach
My work has mainly centred around those who feel unseen, misunderstood, or out of step with traditional expectations. This includes those diagnosed, self‑diagnosed, or exploring ADHD, autism and other neurodivergent conditions. Those who are child‑free, those navigating complex family dynamics, people experiencing challenging or non‑traditional family relationships, those who have experienced narcissistic abuse and those navigating the complex landscape of menopause. What connects this work is not identity labels but the felt experience of carrying difference, uncertainty, or quiet strain. While these are areas of particular experience and interest, I welcome anyone seeking a supportive space to explore whatever may be troubling them.
