Mrs Claire Breen
Educational Psychologist
“An experienced therapist using mindfulness and compassion with individuals. Self-Compassion courses.”
About Me
As an experienced therapist, I guide individuals to cultivate inner peace and resilience using mindfulness and compassion. If you struggle with self-criticism or seek a gentler way to navigate life, my approach offers practical tools. We explore techniques to foster self-kindness. My structured Self-Compassion courses help clients build a solid foundation of acceptance and emotional well-being.
Approach
I have been practising psychotherapy over 30 years. My integarative psychotherapy approach includes my training in Jungian psychology and Transactional Analysis, trauma work as well as Mindfulness and Compassion-based skills. Sessions include simple mindfulness practices and compassion-focused reflection to help you notice automatic self-criticism and respond with curiosity. Working F2F or online in English.
