I am a Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience as a clinician. I am especially interested in the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on neuro-development and attachment, and the unconscious processes affecting relationships and behaviour. My work is informed by Jungian psychology, relational and attachment theory, neuroscience and the philosophy of language.
I tailor my approach to each client. Therapy is a dynamic process and can be many things – it can be creative and playful – art, dreamwork, play, writing, ecotherapy – it can be trauma processing using EMDR – or it can be simply being with and bearing witness to. My overarching belief is in the healing power of relationship and connection; “Relational trauma requires relational repair” – Dr Karen Treisman.
I am registered with the UKCP, ACAT and RCOT with enhanced DBS.
Alongside my role at Sensi, I am a Lecturer at the UEA, teaching on courses across Health Sciences and Medicine at MSc, BSc and post-graduate level. I also work in the NHS. My original background and first love is in literature – I love books and I love to write.
Most importantly, I have a wonderful dog called Frida
My name is Claire Moran, and I am a Psychotherapist with training in various modalities, including Cognitive Analytic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). I am interested in the experiences and effects of childhood trauma, and the unconscious processes affecting relationships and behaviour. I am experienced in working with individuals who struggle with emotional dysregulation and relational difficulties. I firmly believe in the healing power of therapeutic relationship and connection, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the needs of the client. I have been working in the field of mental health for around 14 years, and have been working with children, young people and their families for most of that time.
I am registered with ACAT, RCOT and HCPC, and have an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate.
My previous background is in English literature (I love books) and I have an MSc in Occupational Therapy. I hold other roles in my working life, including working as a Psychotherapist in HM Prisons and a Trustee for a charity, The Foundation for Professionals in Services to Adolescents.
