TRAINING & QUALIFICATIONS

CLAIRE'S TRAINING:​

​​

I studied for my BA in Fine Art & Psychology at the University of Reading and I am a graduate member of the British Psychological Society. After leaving university, I became a qualified primary teacher and worked in various educational settings, including Special Educational Needs provisions for nearly fourteen years.

​

I hold a Master’s Degree in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy from the Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education (IATE). Art Psychotherapy is a fully regulated profession that requires a rigorous training and many years of personal psychotherapy. I am also a Systemic Family Practitioner offering direct systemic therapy and support to individuals, couples, parents, and families dealing with complex mental health, behavioral, or relational difficulties.

I abide by the codes of practice and ethics of my membership organisations, HCPC, BACP, BAAT, AFSP and BPS. I regularly attend continued professional development training sessions in order to keep up to date with any relevant developments within art psychotherapy. I consistently meet with my clinical supervisor to monitor and review my work.
