About Me
My name is Dr Claire Collins, and I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over 12 years of experience working in both the NHS and private sector. I specialise in supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. I have extensive experience working with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress, loss, trauma, relationship issues, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). At the heart of my work is a commitment to building a strong therapeutic relationship – one grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect – to support you in achieving your goals and moving towards greater wellbeing and fulfilment.

How I Work
I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic, and Person-Centred theories. This flexibility allows me to tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs and experiences, within a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space.
