Claire Law

I love my work as a counsellor in Preston! Whilst I didn’t grow up in Lancashire, I’ve made Preston my home for over 2 decades and am very much a “Proud Prestonian” now.

I began training as a counsellor in 2012. Since then, I’ve completed a post-grad qualification in Psychotherapy with the University of Central Lancashire, as well as achieving BACP Accredited Counsellor status.

I have experience of counselling and psychotherapy in a range of settings and have developed particular interests in working with people facing anxiety and grief and loss in its many forms. I also specialise in working with neurodivergent people, exploring themes including Autistic/ADHD burnout and the impact of masking. Often my work wirth clients takes us into exploring the imapct of childhood trauma. I’m currently employed part-time as a counsellor at a local university to complement my private work with clients. I also offer content writing and training services on Mental Health, Psychology and Wellbeing topics.

I’m a Mum of 2 teenagers and previously worked as a High School teacher for more than 16 years.  I’ve experienced for myself the impact of burnout and how counselling can be transformative. Having also worked within the Care and Third sector supporting unpaid carers, I’ve got plenty of life experience to help me to empathise and connect with people in my counselling work.

I experience myself as calm, reflective and approachable, with a great sense of humour and a creative approach to life. When I’m not in my therapy room, I;m usually in the garden, getting up to something creative or partaking in yoga.
