My name is Claire Parker and I am a qualified counsellor, based in Dursley, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.  Initially, I offer a free session of 30 minutes so you can see if I am the right counsellor for you.  Following on from this, I offer 50 minute counselling sessions.  These sessions can be in person, online or via telephone.  

​

During our sessions, I will offer you a safe, non-judgemental space for you to share thoughts and feelings that you might not be able to share with anyone else in your life.  

​

You may be going through something life-changing, or trying to process something that has happened in your past.  Perhaps you are experiencing low mood, depression or anxiety.  Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, I am confident that by us working together, you will feel empowered to unpack the difficulties in your life and discover the right outcome to be able to move forward.

​

I also provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy, offering a supportive space for those who are Autistic, have ADHD or AuDHD.  Whether you have a formal diagnosis or simply feel this framework resonates with your experiences, you are welcome here.  A diagnosis is not required to access my support.  Sometimes environments can feel overwhelming, invalidating or inaccessible when you are neurodivergent, but together we can ensure that our sessions take place in a manner that is respectful of your needs, communication style and sensory comfort.  Sessions can be adapted to better suit you, so that our time together feels accessible and supportive.

​

Whether you are seeking clarity, self-understanding, emotional support, or simply a place where you feel truly heard, I am here to walk alongside you in that process.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
