Find Calm and Confidence in Your Self

Welcome to my website!

​My name is Claire Lefevre. I provide individual counselling in Central Auckland (Remuera) and online, in English and in French since 2010.
​
I offer both short-term, solution-focused counselling, and long-term psychotherapeutic support, using a client-centered and strength-based approach that draws on mindfulness, the body-feelings-mind connection and neuroscience.
In this way, I help clients gain insights on their psychology, develop a calm and trusting relationship with themselves, and feel empowered to take positive action.

Some of the areas I specialise in are migration and cultural issues, change and life transitions, relationship issues, problems with communication, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, stress and anxiety, depression.

A Focus on Growth, Change and Empowerment

I work collaboratively to help people identify and maximize their existing strengths. I also provide professional insights and draw from the wide range of tools that I have accumulated over the years to provide tailored additional strategies and help people develop new skills as required. 

Working with me, people experience :

• The freedom of a neutral and non-judgmental environment
• An increased sense of clarity and direction
• Greater awareness of their strengths
• Increased trust in themselves
• Increased calm and peace of mind
• A greater capacity to successfully communicate with others
• Access to an extensive range of tools and skills to continue positively shaping their life​ ​

The Value of Investing on Yourself

Seeing a counsellor is a significant investment of time, energy and money. It is important to me that clients get a high return on this investment. Beyond managing the immediate issue that brings a person to counselling, I help people understand how this issue fits in the wider picture of their life, be aware of the resources they have to manage it and grow additional skills. When our work ends, clients have a much deeper understanding of themselves and feel confident in their ability to navigate a range of situations successfully. 
​
Here are some of my strengths:

• Being genuinely interested in people
• Having a keen understanding of the human experience
• Identifying patterns
• Providing reframes and a fresh perspective
• Creatively and positively working with strengths and limitations
• Drawing on a systemic/holistic approach that integrates physical, emotional and cognitive symptoms
• Providing a range of tools and strategies as required
• Integrating the meaningful and spiritual dimension of the human experience
