Dr Claire Asherson Bartram

Relationship Therapist

“An experienced psychotherapist, counsellor, group facilitator and supervisor working with adults, couples and groups. Working since 1991.”

About Me

With over thirty years of experience, I offer a steady, supportive space for couples navigating challenges. My work as a psychotherapist and counsellor also extends to individuals and groups, providing a broad understanding of human connection. As a group facilitator, I help foster shared learning and growth. Clients seeking deep, lasting change in their relationships or personal lives will find a seasoned and thoughtful approach.

Approach

Years in practice shape a way of working that balances genuine curiosity with clear session structure. In my London room and online when helpful, I keep sessions calm, paced and collaborative, blending reflective dialogue with gentle experiments you can try between meetings. We attend to life transitions, grief, parenting challenges and relationship patterns with attention to feelings, interaction and practical steps that fit your life. Those seeking thoughtful, steady progress in relationships or personal growth tend to find this pace and focus helpful.
