Claire Lakey MNCPS (Acc.), Dip.Couns
Pyschotherapeutic Counsellor
BA Hons, Cert Ed
I work with adults who are feeling emotionally stuck, running on empty, or navigating the lasting impact of stress, burnout, or unresolved life experiences. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are good at coping on the surface, but inside, they feel overwhelmed, flat, or unsure how to move forward.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes it’s about having a quiet, focused space to reflect, feel, and reset.
My approach is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA), a respectful and practical form of psychotherapy. It helps you understand your patterns and responses, reconnect with your own needs and boundaries, and begin to live with more clarity, self-trust, and emotional steadiness.
Sessions are confidential and online. I offer a free 30-minute consultation so you can ask questions and get a feel for whether this is the right space for you.
