Trauma healing theology and praxis
Meet Claire
Hi! I am a trainer, coach, mentor and writer with a special interest in the transformation of trauma. I create safe spaces where hope and life can be found. I do this by providing training in trauma (CPD accredited), through coaching and mentoring individuals, and by running restorative retreats for Christian women. I also write on the transformation of trauma and contribute to the field of trauma theology.

The offer
Coaching & Mentoring
Are you looking for someone to walk with you as you navigate change and focus your life? Are you a leader in need of a ‘disinterested’ professional with whom to debrief and problem solve?
It would be a privilege to journey with you.
I help Christians bravely lean into their call and fully exercise their leadership gifts.

Trauma Training
Would you like to better understand how trauma works in your life and those around you? Does trauma feel like a life sentence to you, do you wonder if there is a way forward? Are you yet to discover how your journey with trauma fits with the Christian faith you have or used to have?
It would be an honour to welcome you to one of my training events.
I help individuals, churches and ministries understand trauma and harmonise with its transformation and healing.

Restorative Retreats
Are you a Christian woman needing to restore, realign and refresh? Would you like to do this in the company of other women who live by kindness and respect?
It would be a joy to have you join us.
I help Christian women journey together and reconnect to themselves, each other and the Lord.

Happy Clients
This brought home to me that surviving trauma means there’s a HUGE need for people to be well informed in how to support people who have experienced traumatic events, this takes great wisdom and sensitivity and exploring how scripture has been misused and considering appropriate responses is vital I feel for anyone in a ministry role or serving capacity.”
Trauma Workshop Attendee
“I loved the balance between theory, theology and group work, exploring the concepts and applying in a practical way. Gold, pure gold..”
Trauma Workshop Attendee
“We have had the privilege and benefit of receiving training from Claire both as a small staff team group, and in a wider leadership forum context. These times have provided enriching opportunities for gaining knowledge, for working with dynamic techniques that lead to increased personal self awareness, and for nurturing a reflective and thoughtful approach, both individually, and within interpersonal relationships. Claire’s communication style is warm and conversational and it embraces and welcomes each person in the group, thereby establishing a sense of belonging.”
Senior Church Pastors
“Claire has provided a much needed sounding board, encouragement and challenge at a time when I have felt quite isolated. I trust her because of her own leadership background and this gives me confidence in our times together. I would recommend her highly to anyone who is willing to put in the effort to improve their own performance.”
Anglican Vicar
“I literally feel completely different inside to when I started this journey 10 months ago…. Claire helped point me to Jesus, to ask him what was his perspective… I am so much clearer of my role in life, who I am and what God has called me to bring to life. It also means I know what I can say No to which is so freeing. I am so very grateful to Claire for her wisdom, humour, patience and understanding. It has made an amazing difference in my life that I and others notice.“
