Claire Hudson-McAuley RN, MCFT, Gestalt Cert, AOD couns.

Gestalt, somatic and neuroscience informed psychotherapist specializing in complex human conditions and suffering, have a warm respectful humanising approach. Chair of Psychotherapy at ACMHN, offering supervision to psychiatrists and other clinicians, I also offer group trainings to organisations in trauma informed practice. I am a fan of the British PTMF and thus work collaboratively with service users. Holding diagnostic labels lightly, I am interested in patterns, and how attachment shapes our experience of safety and vulnerability. A fan of Janina Fisher's structural dissociation model, Mindfulness and the Polyvagal Theory, I also work somatically and empathetically with service users, treating them as the expert in their own condition.
