Claire Capek
Hello and welcome,
I’m committed to offering a confidential and compassionate space where your emotions, difficult feelings and life experiences can be safely expressed, acknowledged and worked through.
With a warm and down to earth presence, I’m told I’m easy to talk to and able to hold space for difficult emotions. Together, we build a therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and collaboration. I listen with intention and ask thoughtful questions to help you gain deeper insight into the challenges you are facing, moving toward greater self-understanding and meaningful change.
I work with a diverse community of people, coming to me with a varied range of problems. I have particular experience working with survivors of recent and historic sexual assault and abuse, developed through my previous role at a sexual abuse support centre. I’ve also worked with university students in the UK as well as teaching staff from the international educational sector. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the complex challenges involved in balancing academic or professional pressures with emotional well being, especially in times of personal difficulty.
In working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures, I recognise that we are all influenced not only by our personal experiences but also by the rich tapestry of our identities. Aspects such as race, class, religion, sexuality, gender identity, and more can profoundly influence how we see ourselves and relate to the world around us. I deeply value and respect these parts of the people I work with. By embracing and understanding this diversity, we can better appreciate the complexity and uniqueness of each individual’s journey.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am also a counselling tutor, teaching and supporting students as they work toward their qualifications. Whether in therapy or education, my aim is to inspire growth, learning and positive change.
