Claire Sydney


  Profile

Claire works with individuals and couples, with a focus on relationships, attachment, and emotional connection.

For couples, this often means working through patterns of conflict or disconnection and building a stronger sense of safety and closeness. For individuals, the work centres on understanding emotional patterns and relationship dynamics that may be contributing to feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed.

Claire’s work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and informed by the Gottman Method, two of the most well-researched approaches for couples therapy. She is a member of ICEEFT and has completed Level 1 Gottman training.

Her approach focuses on understanding emotional needs beneath conflict and strengthening connection, creating meaningful and lasting change. Claire also integrates psychodynamic and relational perspectives to support deeper insight into present patterns.

 

Claire’s style is warm, collaborative, and paced to you. Sessions offer a space to explore what can be difficult to put into words, without judgement or pressure. Supporting greater understanding, emotional safety, and new ways of relating over time.

​​

Claire also offers couples therapy, drawing from Gottman and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy) techniques to assist couples in distress, seeking reconnection and understanding. Across both individuals and couples work, she helps clients build greater self-awareness, strengthen emotional connection, and create healthier patterns of relating.
