Claire Dunstan

We are delighted to have the services of Claire Dunstan on our team. Claire is a fully qualified Integrative Psychotherapist.

Claire explains.....

I believe that sometimes, throughout our lives, we can experience events that leave a lasting impact on our way of being in the world. Therapy offers time, space, and an increasing awareness to explore better why we may be thinking, feeling and acting the way we are. This can impact the way we are today, leaving us with:

• Self-sabotaging behaviours,
• Unhealthy coping mechanisms,
• Low self-esteem and self-criticism
• Catastrophising
• Unhealthy relationships

I offer long-term psychotherapy for a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and childhood issues.

Together, we will explore hopes, ideas, dreams, and solutions, as well as the issues, fears, and demons many people struggle with in the here and now. I offer a relaxed, professional environment to explore and learn about yourself, a space to understand your thinking, feelings, and behaviours in relation to your here-and-now problems.

I am particularly interested in awareness of our behaviour patterns and why we feel compelled to repeat these patterns of a lifetime, alongside the core beliefs we hold and feel about ourselves. The growing research in neuroscience has established that psychotherapy allows and supports change within our brain and a new way of being.
