Claire Miller

My name is Claire and I am a Psychological Therapist. I have over 10 years experience working within mental health services in the NHS. Since qualifying I have worked in both Primary Care and Psychology services; delivering therapy to a diverse population. I also supervise and tutor on University Cognitive Behavioural Therapy courses – supporting the training of new therapists.

I work integratively to ensure that we are targeting exactly what it is that troubles you, in a way that makes sense to you. We will look at what is happening right now, and how this can be addressed, so that we do not ignore areas where tangible behavioural change can be made. However, we will be curious about the past – looking at childhood and adolescent experiences so that we can understand patterns and address deeper issues that could transform your feelings and perspectives. My therapy provides a non-judgemental space where we can explore whatever you are struggling with and plan a way forward. We can work in an open-ended manner or agree to a set number of sessions.

• In recent years I have come to specialise in the treatment of PTSD and complex trauma, as well as working with parents in the peri-natal period – both of these specialties mean that my work is attachment informed. I have a special interest in Compassion Focussed Therapy, and bring this into much of my work.
