Claire Dunstan

Integrative Psychotherapist | UKCP Accredited (2011168657)

Claire is a fully qualified and UKCP-accredited Integrative Psychotherapist, bringing warmth, insight, and a wealth of experience to her work.

A Compassionate Approach to Long-Term Psychotherapy

Claire offers long-term psychotherapy for a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including:

• Anxiety and depression
• Stress and burnout
• Trauma and PTSD
• Addiction and unhealthy coping behaviours
• Low self-esteem and self-criticism
• Relationship difficulties
• Grief and bereavement
• Childhood and attachment issues

Claire’s therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that events throughout our lives can leave a lasting imprint on how we think, feel, and relate to others. Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to explore these experiences and understand the underlying patterns that shape our behaviour.

“Sometimes in life, we develop self-sabotaging habits, experience unhealthy relationships, or struggle with low self-worth. These behaviours often stem from unresolved experiences. Therapy helps us gain clarity, break the cycle, and build a healthier way of being.” – Claire Dunstan

What to Expect in Therapy

Claire provides a relaxed yet professional environment where you can:

• Explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in depth
• Reflect on personal patterns and core beliefs
• Work through current challenges, fears, or recurring issues
• Develop healthier emotional tools and relationships
• Discover new perspectives and possibilities for growth

Together, you’ll explore not only the difficulties you’re facing but also your hopes, ideas, and strengths. Claire’s integrative approach draws from a variety of therapeutic models, always tailored to meet your individual needs.

A Neuroscience-Informed Practice

Claire is particularly interested in how long-standing behavioural patterns form and how they can be changed. She draws on growing research in neuroscience, which shows that psychotherapy can reshape neural pathways, helping people create lasting, positive change in their lives.
