Claire de la Varre

My goal is to help my clients get back on their feet and functioning again with all the tools and resources they need to cope well with the circumstances of their life, in as few sessions as possible! We are all capable of change, however old we become, and the brain is remarkably flexible or "plastic" throughout the lifespan. 

I have been in private practice for 13 years in the United States and have now opened my practice in Scotland. I have worked extensively with children and adolescents with functional GI disorders, anxiety, depression and chronic illness. Other groups with whom I have worked extensively are adults with unresolved, unexplained, or psychosomatic medical symptoms, insomnia and other sleep-related issues, and survivors of domestic violence or abuse. 

At the moment I am seeing all my clients online, via Zoom, but am looking forward to being able to open my Stirling office when it is safe to do so.
