What happens when a therapist and a family lawyer / mediator get
together?

We discuss how we can best support our clients in an empathic and human
way - not just through the legal process of divorce — but through the
emotional reality of it too.

Collaborating where both legal and emotional matters can be supported
by the experienced professionals reduces some of the conflict, stress
and pain of all involved.

Hi everyone, I’m Claire, a counsellor and coach working with women in Wilmslow and online.
I specialise in survivors of abusive relationships, building confidence and self-esteem.
As an expat of 18 years, I also work with issues for clients based in the UK or returning to the UK after living abroad.
I have worked with many clients who have experience both - controlling relationships whilst being an ‘expat wife’.
To book an intro call (20 mins) call or message me.
Therapy, although rewarding, can be tough and so I offer a cosy, warm and welcoming atmosphere - cup of tea and (unofficial) therapy dogs included!

Therapy and Personal Training can mean sweat and tears (hopefully no blood!)
Real growth and strength can result from doing the work - physically and emotionally.
I’m aching after 2 tough PT and 2 Reformer Pilates sessions this week so like after therapy, a bit of self care is required whether that is a hot bath or a cryotherapy session!
Thanks to and for keeping me on track

I often see strong feisty women who are shocked when they recall being in an abusive or narcissistic relationship. Here are some of the reasons why a narcissist may be attracted to a strong woman:
Being intelligent and confident will make them look good. They may admire you.
Your strength, capability, loyalty, stamina can mean unlimited support for them. Conquering what they envy about you can make them feel strong Not being needy or demanding also suits them. Getting someone to submit after they have stood up to you can be thrilling - arousing even.
Your confidence is redefined as arrogance, independence as being cold and being boundaried as being selfish

Here are my miniature goldendoodles Mozzarella and Gorgonzola (Motzy and Zola) my unofficial therapy dogs who love snuggling up to my clients (the ones who like dogs!).
Stroking a pet can be a comforting way to calm the nervous system.
My clients can expect a warm, cosy and welcoming space whilst working through the process of counselling.
