Claire Grainger

Currently I have some availability on Wednesdays 9am-9pm 

I am a BACP qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based just north east of London on the Essex/Hertfordshire border, offering online and face to face therapy. My practice is grounded in a person-centred and integrative approach, recognising that you are unique and the expert in your own life story. I believe in creating a safe, therapeutic and non-judgemental environment where I will listen and we can explore and learn more about you, together. 

I bring a tool kit of knowledge, therapies and idea's which we can integrate into the sessions to help further develop insight, understanding and work towards whatever you are seeking.

I work with clients with a wide variety of issues and concerns ( eg. anxiety, depression, self-esteem, gender and relationship issues etc) and some who just want the time and safe space to be listened to and explore their thoughts and feelings. You don't need a specific problem or issue to benefit from counselling/ psychotherapy.

I have many years of experience working with clients and their families dealing with cancer and life-threatening diseases from diagnosis onwards. From these interactions and personal experience, I have an understanding of the depth and breadth of the impact this may have on relationships and the mental health of all who are involved.

I am passionate about helping people talk about difficult things, gain insights and make more sense of their personal experiences of life - with the aim that this will move them towards a better emotional well-being.

At Ivy Corner Counselling and Psychotherapy, I believe that every individual deserves to live a fulfilling and happy life. I understand that life can be challenging, and that's why I offer professional counselling and psychotherapy services to help you overcome personal, emotional, and psychological difficulties. I am an experienced and compassionate therapists who is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I offer a range of services, including individual counselling both face to face and online. Whether you're dealing with bereavement, cancer, grief, or any other life challenge, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My approach is client-centered, which means that I work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. I use evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy to help you achieve your desired outcomes. If you're ready to take the first step towards healing and personal growth, I invite you to connect with me today.
