Claire Parrish

I work as Clinical Director for Khiron Clinics.

I offer some private sessions. Limited availibiity.

Welcome. I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist offering trauma informed care for adults and adolescents.( 16+) My aim as a therapist is to help you work through painful or confusing experiences, to work with stabilising a dysregulated nervous system and to encourage you to become more emotionally robust- all in a safe, confidential and therapeutic environment. I believe in self compassion, self confidence and our human essence.

I can help with anxiety, addiction, depression, eating disorders, stress, relationships, bereavement and traumatic events especially relating to PTSD, BPD, Bi polar, Childhood adverse experiences , DID and complex PTSD.

The first session allows me to find out what has brought you to therapy, and assess how many sessions you may require. I offer short term therapy (10 sessions) and longer term therapy is also available.

My background:

I trained at Regents's University in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology and I incorporate Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal theory and Safe and sound protocol, Sensorimotor therapy, Somatic experiencing, ILF neurofeedback and EMDR in my practice. I previously worked as a psychotherapist for the NHS and I am a fully qualified and accredited member of the BACP.

My therapy services are also underpinned by my corporate and entrepreneurial experience. In 2002 I created an Interior Design company and running a creative enterprise has deepened my understanding of managing stress and finding balance.

I work online only at present.

This means you may like 10 sessions of short term therapy integrating a toolbox of  therapy modalities or you may need 12 sessions+ for trauma work including EMDR, SSP, IFS, Polyvagal and Somatic bodywork ( SP and SE).

The first session is an introduction -where you can fill me in on why now? what is happening at the moment that leads you to therapy? What would you like from therapy?

It is a standard length and cost.

It is important you feel safe and comfortable talking to me and the first session enables you to decide if you would like to work with me.
