How I work

Get to know Claire B

How can you support people?

I hope to work in collaboration with other therapists at Therapy Pro, to ensure that the client is supported in all areas of their functioning.

How does your background shape the way you work?

I have worked in various settings in both South Africa and Australia and have been privileged to have worked with people from different cultures and backgrounds. This has given me an appreciation for diversity and taught me the importance of amending my therapeutic approach to meet the individual needs of the clients. I also strongly believe in continued personal and professional development and strive to stay updated with the most current trends in the field.

What is your approach to working with people?

I believe that it is my role as a psychologist to provide a safe, warm and non-judgmental space for my clients, to enable them to work through any difficulties that may be hindering them from living a full and happy life. I believe that each person is unique and that therapeutic interventions need to be tailored with the person’s individual needs in mind.
