Claire Sydney

Claire Sydney is a Psychotherapist & Couples Counsellor based in Sydney, holding a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy and accreditation with both the Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). She is passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, strengthen their relationships, and find greater clarity and balance.

​

Claire works with individuals experiencing concerns such as relationship conflict, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, attachment-related challenges, low self-worth, and feelings of excessive shame or self-criticism. She is committed to creating a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can safely explore their experiences and begin the process of healing and growth.

 

Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, tailored to each individual client and evidence-based, drawing on Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),  Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method (Level 1 training complete).

​​

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.
