Integrative Counsellor Claire Capek (my pronouns are She/Her)

Hello, I'm Claire, a compassionate and approachable therapist. I am here to offer a grounded, safe, and authentic space for you to be seen and heard.

My practice is integrative using person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. I will meet you where you are in your life, and I deeply value the trust and connection built with my clients within the therapeutic relationship. I am inclusive and have worked with a diverse community of people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Sometimes life contains painful experiences. If you are feeling a variety of emotions such as anxiety, overwhelm, sadness, emotional pain, low self-esteem or experiences from trauma, I can work with you by helping you explore your feelings and insights. This can offer a deeper understanding of yourself, bringing about your own sense of empowerment to move towards living your life with positive change. I work with you at your own pace for you to feel emotionally safe.

I work with a wide variety of clients and issues including:

• Trauma
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Self-esteem
• Discrimination
• Relationships & Family
• Childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault

I work with an agency providing therapy to clients working in international schools and have worked alongside survivors of abuse in a sexual abuse support centre.
