About Me
Claire Thorburn FdSc, MBACP
I am a dedicated, qualified and fully insured Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, driven by a deep sense of empathy and a genuine commitment to assisting individuals in realising their full potential in life. I firmly believe that my skill set can be a valuable asset in supporting you on your journey to personal growth and well-being.
My introduction to the field of CBT counselling was deeply rooted in my own life experiences. Through introspection and a fervent desire for self-improvement, I discovered the transformative power of personal responsibility and accountability. This revelation became the cornerstone of my personal growth and success.
My educational background includes a degree in counselling and psychotherapy, with a specialisation in cognitive behavioural therapy as my core modality. I am prepared to provide expert guidance within a secure and confidential environment, utilising a range of practical and motivational CBT techniques tailored to your unique needs.
My prior experiences encompass diverse settings, from globetrotting aboard cruise liners to backpacking adventures, as well as extensive tenure within the hospitality and dental sectors. These experiences have enriched my understanding of human interactions and resilience.
I am truly committed to assisting individuals like you in navigating life's challenges and achieving a sense of well-being and fulfilment.

What is CBT ?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured and evidence-based psychological approach that helps individuals identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It's founded on the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and actions are interconnected. CBT aims to empower individuals to recognise negative thought patterns, challenge them, and replace them with more constructive ones. By doing so, it can effectively treat a wide range of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and phobias, by addressing the root cognitive and behavioural factors contributing to these problems.
What is EFT ?
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a therapeutic method that combines elements of acupuncture and psychology. It involves tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on emotional issues or negative thoughts. This process is believed to balance the body's energy system and alleviate emotional distress. EFT is often used to address anxiety, trauma, phobias, and stress. It's thought to help individuals release emotional blockages and promote emotional healing, leading to improved mental well-being and reduced emotional turmoil.
