Connect with Claire Samara
I offer gentle and attuned counselling and art therapy for those seeking to soften into connection with their true self, to feel more authentic and connected in relationships, and to shift out of old patterns and into new ways of being. I provide a relational approach, grounded in person-centred principals and somatic practices. If you're seeking a space of holding to move through anxious or depressive states, life transitions, grief and loss or if you're seeking to ease trauma symptoms, improve emotion regulation and nervous system health, I'd love to hear from you.
I am a registered Art Therapist (Anzacata) and Counsellor (ACA). I also bring with me my lived experience of my own healing & of being a client, my relational experiences, my Anglo-Italian heritage, my formal learning and work experiences across the mental health field ( in community, hospital, out of home care and clinical practice spaces).
If you're feeling stuck in old ways of being, going through a challenging period or wanting to find a new way to relate to yourself and others, I can provide an emphatic and safe space for you to explore, heal, change and grow. To learn more, please visit my website, clairesamaratherapy.au
