Claire Marlow

I am available most work days until 4.30pm. 

Would you like to feel calmer and less reactive? Less overwhelmed and more in control? To feel happier in your relationships with others…and with yourself? 

Sometimes in life, we get “stuck” and feel hopeless, unable to see a way forward. Whether you're plagued by a negative self-image, painful relationships or you're struggling to cope with life, I offer counselling and psychotherapy, to people just like you. I'll empower you to make the changes that you want to make and become the person you were meant to be. Too many professionals promise that they will transform your life! I won't do that - but I know that with my help, you can.

I provide compassionate, weekly counselling sessions so that you can safely explore those feelings that you're normally too ashamed to share. I will help you identify what is causing you pain and holding you back, and support you in reducing its effect on your life. With my help, you will discover that you have the courage to make incredible changes.

It can feel terrifying to ask for help, but therapy changed my life to such an extent, that it inspired me to become a therapist. But more than a therapist, I am a human being with imperfections, vulnerabilities and a whole bevy of blunders under my belt! Therapy taught me the peace and pleasure that comes with self-acceptance ... and it can help you too.

I have a MSc (Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and since qualifying, I have completed additional training and gained much experience of working with trauma, domestic abuse and relationship counselling.

I provide counselling for individuals, couples, or other relationships. My fee is £70 for individuals and £85 for couples.

I am a registered member of the BACP. 

80% of us will feel anxious, depressed, stressed or stuck at some point in our life. If you are curious about how counselling can help, then your journey towards happiness has already begun. Please get in touch to arrange a free initial consultation, or with any questions that you might have about the counselling process. 

Sessions with me are face-to-face, online or on the telephone. Initially, these would be weekly. 

I work from home, in a comfortable, purpose-built therapy room in Orston, NG13 - not far from Bingham, Nottingham, Grantham and Newark. There is easy and private parking.

Regarding accessibility, I have a gravel driveway, and 2 low steps into the property. If you would like face-to-face sessions, and this is a concern for you, I can send you a video showing you the access. 

I offer a free, 20 minutes online/telephone consultation where we get to know a little more about each other, and to see if we think that we are a good fit together. I offer this to both individuals and couples. 

If you think you would like to work with me, you can book a session or free consultation by calling me (07779 029344) or emailing hello@clairemarlow.co.uk. I aim to reply to enquiries within 24 hours during work days. 

The first session is called an assessment, and it's where I gather information about how your troubles are affecting you, a bit about your history and what you'd like to get from therapy. 

In the main though, the first sessions are all about helping you feel comfortable, and offering you a supportive place to explore whatever comes up.
