Claire Wolterink
Psychotherapist
Feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, or difficult relationships? When you are constantly putting everyone else's needs first, or carrying the weight of past trauma, it is so easy to lose your own voice in the noise.
You don't have to carry this heavy burden alone. I offer a calm, trauma-informed space for women to process difficult feelings, release the pressure to fix everything, and rebuild genuine confidence in yourself. You deserve a space where your needs truly come first.
I hold a dedicated professional specialisation in trauma-informed psychotherapy for women experiencing the invisible burnout of high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, and a constant pressure to keep everyone else happy.
As an integrative therapist, I look at the whole picture of how stress lives in your mind and your body.
Ready to take the first step toward healing? Visit my profile to explore how we can work together through anxiety, trauma, grief, and loss in a safe, grounded space. Reach out today to schedule free no-obligation call where we can get to know each other and discuss how we can work together.
About me
As a therapist, my style is warm, deeply collaborative, and entirely real. I bring my authentic self into our sessions, which means you can expect a space filled with genuine compassion, steadfast safety, and the occasional touch of gentle humour when it’s needed.
My approach
Collaborative, not clinical: We are a team. I won’t just sit in silence taking notes and nodding.
No gold stars required: You don’t have to do homework perfectly, and you don’t have to protect my feelings by pretending you’re doing better than you are
Warmth and a bit of humor: Healing is deep, sacred work, but it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. We will bring lightness and genuine human connection to the space.
If you are carrying the weight of past trauma, navigating relational or childhood wounds, or experiencing deep exhaustion from carrying the silent mental load of everyday life, we will work entirely at your pace to help you feel grounded, understood, and securely reconnected to yourself.
