Claire Teal  (she/her)

Clinical Lead Counsellor

Claire is a queer, cisgender woman and mother known for bringing warmth and empathy to her counselling. She is skilled at creating safe, respectful therapeutic spaces that center each client's story and individuality. Claire draws on narrative therapy, strengths-based practice and trauma-informed approaches in her work. She has particular expertise in working with women, young people and Rainbow communities, and in supporting people through fertility issues, blending families and raising children in a Rainbow family. She is also passionate about supporting people questioning their sexuality and/or gender later in life, and also people navigating the experience of a family member coming out. 

Outside of counselling, Claire can be found taking photos on wild beaches, seeking out the best coffee and spending time with family and friends. Claire is a student member of PATHA (Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa). She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Counselling and Guidance), a Masters in Social Work (Applied) and is in the final stages of completing her Masters in Counselling Studies.
