Let's make sense of the messy stuff - so you can feel centred again
Let's make sense of the messy stuff - so you can feel centred again
Clients often describe their experience with me as life-changing—not just because they felt heard, but because they felt understood. I'm known for being compassionate, steady, and real. You won’t get generic advice or a blank stare. You’ll get someone who listens deeply, thinks alongside you, and stays with you through the messy bits.
I've walked my own path through life's harder seasons, and I bring both personal insight and professional experience into the room. That means I meet you not only as a therapist, but as a human—one who gets that life isn’t always neat or easy to explain.
Struggles with food, body image, or eating patterns can feel confusing, lonely, and hard to talk about. You don’t need to have a label or diagnosis to deserve support. Together, we’ll explore what’s really going on underneath—gently and at your pace.
Loss—of a person, a relationship, a future you hoped for—can shake the ground beneath you. With many years of experience as a bereavement counsellor, I’ll support you in making sense of grief in all its forms. There’s no timeline or “right way” to feel. We’ll make space for your experience, however it shows up.
If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or worn down by life, we can work together to untangle what’s beneath the surface. Our work can help you reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Healing isn’t linear, and it doesn’t need to be fast—it just needs to be supported. If you're ready to take that next step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

A warm welcome—I’m Claire Banks. I’m a qualified counsellor, author, and registered member of the BACP (MBACP 403768). My BSc (Hons) in Psychology gives me a foundation, but it’s my passion for helping people feel less alone that drives my work.
Counselling isn’t just my profession—it’s something I came to after navigating my own messy, very human experiences. I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, and I also know how powerful it can be to feel truly heard. That’s what led me to retrain and do this work: to offer others the kind of space I once needed myself.
I work with adults across the UK via online and telephone counselling, offering flexible, accessible support from wherever you feel most at ease. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, grief, eating issues, or simply feeling off-centre, I’m here to meet you with empathy, curiosity, and care.
You're not just a client to me. You're a person with a story—and I'm here to help you make sense of it.
