Welcome to Claire Capek Therapeutic Counselling
A safe, confidential and compassionate space where emotions, difficult feelings and experiences can be expressed, acknowledged and worked through.
Welcome
Hi I'm Claire, I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor and CPCAB counselling tutor. I offer a supportive and thoughtful space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is grounded in counselling theory, ethical practice, and current research in counselling and psychotherapy, which I stay closely connected to through my teaching.
I offer 1:1 therapy, in-person and online, for clients aged 18 and over. I am a fully qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working in accordance with their ethical framework and standards of good practice. I am also a practitioner member of The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network.
Therapy
At times, life presents challenges that can be difficult and painful. Therapy provides space to discuss and reflect on your life and these
experiences. Talking through your challenges with a therapist can bring clarity, and empower you to make the changes you want. I work collaboratively, offering depth in my work with you, supporting you with care, integrity, and openness throughout the process.
