Claire has spent much of her career in child and adolescent mental health services and has experience working with children with behavioural difficulties, eating disorders, psychosis, Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and self-harming behaviour. Claire also has experience working in special schools and supporting children with learning disabilities.

She provides intervention to support children in reaching their maximum potential, including help with handwriting, motor planning, and sensory integration techniques.

She ensures that the treatment sessions are engaging and work towards the child reaching their personal goals.
