About Me
Hello, my name is Claire Lodge. I am a BACP Registered & Accredited Counsellor / Psychotherapist and a UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor / Psychotherapist (United Kingdom Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and although originally from London I spent 8 years in Nottingham where I qualified with an Advanced Diploma in Counselling in 2001.
On top of being an Accredited and Registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist I am a fully qualified EMDR practitioner. I am also a licensed practitioner for NICE Counselling for Depression and a qualified Supervisor/Consultant (MA Consultative Supervision, University of South Wales), offering Clinical Consultation and Case Management for Counsellors, Psychotherapists and other Health Care Professionals.
I began my work as a counsellor for an organisation helping people who were suffering financial hardship and moved on from there to work at South Nottingham College as a counsellor working with both the tutors and the students.
Upon moving to the South West I started working in GP Practices across Cornwall and Devon and I also began to see clients privately.
I have worked for the NHS in GP practices in across Devon and Cornwall for 20years, am the clinical lead for an organisation offering counselling in Plymouth and provide supervision and consultation to 4 other Plymouth businesses and for the University of Bristol Medical School. I have my private practice in Lipson, Plymouth offering emotional and psychological support to clients referred to me by their GP or EAP provider or by word of mouth and supervision and consultation to other health professionals.
I am able to assist clients to clarify and accomplish personal and professional goals and work with them on issues such as stress, abuse, anger, assault, confidence, self esteem, anxiety, bereavement, panic, sexuality and relationship issues.
I attend monthly group and individual professional supervision to monitor my work and I am a professional member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I abide by their codes of ethics and practice and am subject to their disciplinary procedure. I hold full insurance for all my services.
I have always enjoyed an active leisure time and regularly sail, kayak, cycle and walk.
