Available days - Monday to Thursday.

Available times - 10 am - 6 pm.

Services

Counselling Session (60 minutes) - £60

A focused session to explore your thoughts and feelings, start unpacking what matters most to you, and begin your journey towards feeling more supported and centred.

Counselling session (90 minutes) - £85

For when you need more time to go deeper to reflect on complex issues, or if you simply need occasional support.

Initial Chat

A short, relaxed, no-pressure opportunity to explore what’s bringing you here. You can ask questions, share a little about what you’re hoping to address, and get a sense of how we might begin your counselling journey—before making any financial commitment.

Concessions available

I offer reduced rates for student counsellors completing mandatory training hours and for individuals on a low income. If cost is a concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to discuss options where possible. 

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling to make sense of life’s challenges—and you’re not alone.

Overeating can be one way our minds and bodies respond to stress, grief, anxiety, bullying or low self-esteem. It’s not just about the food itself—it’s about understanding the patterns behind it, and exploring your relationship with food, your body, and your sense of identity. This is my special interest, but it sits alongside supporting adults through a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, and life transitions.

I’m Claire Banks, a Â鶹ԭ´´-registered counsellor (MÂ鶹ԭ´´ 403768) with a first-class BSc (Hons) degree in Psychology, and author of a book on overcoming eating challenges. My professional training and experience equip me to guide you through complex emotions, while my approach ensures you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.

In our sessions, we explore what matters to you at a pace that feels right. You’ll gain insight, practical tools, and confidence to manage difficult emotions, navigate transitions, and understand patterns—whether they’re linked to food, anxiety, grief, or other life pressures. Many clients tell me they leave feeling lighter, more centred, and better equipped to face life’s challenges.

You’re not just a client to me—you’re a person with a story. I’m here to help you make sense of it, find balance, and move towards a life that feels more manageable and empowered.

I offer a person-centred counselling approach, which means our work together is tailored entirely to you — your experiences, your pace, and what matters most in your life.

You will find a compassionate space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, helping you begin to uncover the invisible barriers that may be holding you back, and start to make changes that feel right for you.

My role isn’t to give advice or "fix you" — it’s to walk alongside you as you explore your inner world. Many clients find that this approach helps them gain clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of themselves, allowing them to navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels more manageable and empowering.

I work with adults across the UK, supporting a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns.

Sessions are held online—giving you the flexibility to connect from the comfort of your own space. This can be especially valuable when emotions run high, allowing you to feel safe, grounded, and supported throughout the session.
