Meet Your Psychologist in Chichester

Hi, I'm Claire. I am a Psychologist and Schema Therapist, providing specialist psychological therapy and assessment services in Chichester, West Sussex, and online across the UK.

Professional Background & Qualifications

My qualifications and professional development include:

• Qualified Forensic Psychologist
• Accreditation in Schema Therapy
• Specialist training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Behavioural Family Therapy (BFT)
• Ongoing continuing professional development in trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches

My Approach to Therapy

I believe therapy should feel both safe and purposeful. I combine evidence-based research, collaboration, compassion and non-judgemental approaches to help clients develop insight into emotional patterns while also building practical skills to create meaningful change.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or self-critical. Together, we work to understand where these patterns developed and how they can be shifted.

I have particular experience supporting individuals with:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression
• Attachment and relationship difficulties
• Personality and complex emotional presentations
• Risk assessment and forensic concerns
• Long-standing patterns rooted in early experiences that continue to impact adult relationships, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing.
