Claire Shaw Counselling

I am a fully qualified BACP Accredited counsellor who has 13 years experience in counselling children and young people who are experiencing stress, anxiety, sadness, low mood, anger and other emotions. The aim of counselling is to provide a safe space in which the young person can explore their feelings surrounding an issue and become better able to understand and express those feelings. For younger children this could involve creative drawing, model making, working through and completing bereavement booklets, making memory boxes, as well as talking through feelings and exploring ways to cope when difficult feelings arise.
My special interests are in that of anxiety and bereavement and I offering counselling for all other problems that children and teenagers may present with, such as depression, relationship/friendship difficulties, lack of confidence, low self-esteem and anger issues. Each session is tailored to the individual needs and age of the young person.
I am an Accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I am on the BACP Professional Register for Counsellors. I have acquired my experience by counselling young people in educational settings for the last 13 years. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to find out more about how I am able to help you.
