Experience And Approach

Through her training in the APSATS Multi-Dimensional Trauma Model (Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists) and her insight into complex and relational trauma, she  creates a safe, nonjudgemental space for  individuals and couples navigating relational abuse, infidelity, and betrayal trauma. Claudette is an APSATS trained partner specialist  candidate (Certified Clinical Partner Specialist – Candidate).   

Having worked in various multidisciplinary teams in the area of neurodivergence, learning and developmental difficulties, she also supports adolescents, adults, couples and families with an integrative approach to navigating challenges associated with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and related presentations.

Claudette believes that emotional distress can often be stored in the body and may present as physical symptoms as well. Her desire to support her clients beyond talk therapy alone led to her completion of a Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (USA) certification. With her additional coaching qualifications, she helps clients who are keen to take a whole-body approach to therapy by incorporating nutrition, movement, sleep, and self-care practices that might be effective to support  various mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, sleep difficulties and ADHD). Additionally, she also works with individuals struggling with lifestyle, general health or medical conditions, such as  autoimmune and thyroid conditions, adrenal dysfunction, perimenopause and menopause.

Testimonials

Claudette has been so giving with her time and patience. She has constantly looked for ways to adapt to my needs and what works for me and as a professional I couldn't ask for more. She has had an immeasurable positive impact on my life and I really appreciate it
Mr TS
I did a few counselling sessions with Claudette right after the pandemic when I was at my lowest. Her 20-plus years of experience as a psychologist truly shows. I’m very grateful. She’s definitely rare with her certification in functional medicine health coaching, and she was able to guide me on some aspects of physical health and how they correlate with mental health. See her, and you’ll truly appreciate the professional she is.
Ms M.
Claudette was instrumental in helping me make changes that resulted in greater healing and wholeness. She also walked me through significant personal and professional changes, supporting me through a difficult but exciting journey. I have recommended her services to many friends, family and colleagues. The real benefit of working with a psychologist is that, while it was the first time I had faced certain challenges, a psychologist has supported dozens of people through similar experiences. A professional perspective on the challenges I faced and support through the process allowed me to normalise my experience and come up with a proactive game plan. Thank you so much Claudette for your support and expertise.
Mr G.
Claudette has played a critical role in my recovery from anxiety, depression and addiction. I am very grateful for her kind and wise insights. She is also patient with me when I whine and complain like a toddler.
Mr R.
I found both individual and group sessions very helpful. Claudette is gentle in her approach and firm in the belief that she is not there to answer your life’s problems but rather encourages you to think, to express your unmet needs and then to take action towards changing certain behaviours that no linger serve you. I enjoy my sessions and feel a lot lighter and a lot of relief afterwards as well.
Ms J.
You sometimes get those moments in your life when you feel like the value that something has added to your life exceeds what you paid for it. Sometimes, you read a book and you think, “ I don’t know that I paid enough for this book”, in terms of the value that it adds, and it was the same sense that I got with this coaching program. I really think that as women we really need to stop, pause and catch our breath so that we can think about our long term health and move forward in a healthy way

Functional Medicine Health Coaching provides you with education, resources, the correct mindset as well as preparedness for change and goal attainment. Participation in a group helped me with accountability, a safe space of support and understanding. The biggest insight I gained from the coaching program was that change is about progress, not perfection and that the process is more valuable than the destination. Often the destination or goal is fear based, whilst the process of reaching a particular goal leads to great self-discovery, self-care and awareness. Thank you Claudette for the special impact that coaching with you has had on my life!

Functional Medicine Health Coaching has helped me so much with my mindset and I have learnt improvement over perfection. This realization and mindfulness have been incredibly freeing for me. I would recommend FM health coaching to anyone who is overwhelmed by the incredible amount of information that is out there. This form of health coaching is focused on the facts and encourages you to be the healthiest version of yourself, and even when working in a group, it is still focused on your individual journey.
Ms S.
FM health coaching has helped me to focus on the information relevant to me and remove the noise. My experience has been incredible and Claudette’s coaching program has provided me with insight that has enabled me to have been able shift my overall health and wellbeing – I have been able to be conscious about my eating habits, change my sleep routine and even start an exercise routine. Having a group of ladies to support and hold me accountable on my journey has been motivating and effective. The outcomes have been ongoing even beyond the program and I have been able to continue implementing the tools learnt
