Clair Atkinson, BACP

Clair Atkinson holds a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy, a postgraduate qualification that underpins her therapeutic practice. She brings a wealth of lived professional experience to her work, combining three years of counselling experience across diverse settings with thirty three years as a Registered Nurse. This background shaped a holistic approach that values both clinical knowledge and human connection.

Clair has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and helps them draw on strengths they already possess to address the issues that matter most to them. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life is recognized as an act of courage, and Clair positions herself as a steady source of support throughout that process.

Her passion is helping people manage difficult emotions. Clair listens without judgement and responds with empathy, encouraging clients to make decisions that suit their lives and values rather than offering direct advice or trying to solve problems for them. Her work is grounded in respect for each individual's experience and a commitment to empowering change at the client's pace.
