About Us.

Our mission.

Engaging in therapy is like embarking on a journey, sometimes a difficult and painful journey.

At Claire Hurwitz Psychology, we are passionate about creating a safe space to enable you to start a journey of self-discovery, self-growth, healing, and change. We all experience challenges over our lifespan; it is a natural part of life. Whilst you might feel alone in your challenges, it doesn’t mean that you can’t be held, supported, and guided through this experience. At Claire Hurwitz Psychology, we use a holistic evidence-based approach, incorporating both the mind and body, to help you work through those inner tangles by learning how to manage the difficulties you face, enhance your emotional wellbeing, develop insight, and ultimately make long-term lasting changes


Get to know Claire.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who strives to create a space for hope, healing, and change. I believe that challenges can be powerful stepping stones for opportunities of self-inquiry, developing insight, connecting with difficult emotions, and healing parts of yourself. My therapeutic style is compassionate and gentle, and where appropriate, more active and directive. I tailor the therapy to match each client’s needs and work collaboratively with each client toward achieving a person’s goals. My goal is to create a unique and authentic therapeutic experience whereby my clients can develop and live a life of balance, truth, and fulfilment. 

I use a range of therapeutic approaches, blending both the mind and body, to treat the underlying factors that lead to a person’s difficulties. Working this way treats the cause, not the symptoms. Therapies such as Schema Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy get to the root of the client’s struggles and consequential unhelpful behaviours and patterns, whereas mindfulness-based approaches such as meditation and breathwork bring the client back to their body and present-moment awareness. 

I have experience working with a range of presentations, including anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and stress. I am particularly passionate about working with relationship difficulties, including romantic and non-romantic relationships. This includes finding and maintaining healthy relationships, understanding why you are feeling stuck in dating or unsatisfied in your love life, and improving communication problems.  

Call me Clinical Psychologist by qualification, but underneath that title I am a lover and encourager of self-growth and self-care… an advocate for feeling your feelings & speaking your truth… and am passionate about helping individuals reach a point in their lives where they can say I feel content.

When I’m not working with clients, I am typically furthering my knowledge in the psychology and wellbeing space by completing online courses, professional development, reading, and connecting with other like-minded people. Outside of the work space, you’ll find me exercising, practicing yoga, baking (it’s my version of non-verbal therapy), and spending time with family and friends.

Approaches.

 

We can help you with a broad range of difficulties: anxiety, depression and low mood, relationship difficulties, perfectionism, self-esteem and confidence issues, and stress management. We also offer specialised treatment for relationship difficulties with a key focus on understanding what underlying beliefs are getting in the way of finding and/or keeping the love you desire.

  • Evidence Based

    Blend of talk-therapy and practical where necessary

  • Authentic

    Your psychologist is a real person too, experiencing both the ups and downs that come with life. Being able to use one’s learnings from challenges and help others navigate through their own hurdles, is what we at Claire Hurwitz Psychologist believe is an invaluable experience to have in therapy.

  • Compassion

    No matter how we try to control our lives, unpredictable and difficult things happen to us all.

  • Client Centred

    We acknowledge that no two clients are alike and therefore see each client as a unique individual, tailoring treatment to meet the specific needs and desires of the client in a collaborative way.

  • Non-clinical

    Therapy can often feel clinical. We believe in embracing a more organic and flowy method, whereby we speak your language.

  • Empathy

    We believe that at the heart of a therapeutic-relationship is the ability to recognise, understand, and share

It’s time for change.
