Claire Hurwitz
Clinical Psychologist Registrar
B.A.(Psych), B.Psych(Hons), M.Psych(Clinical)
I am a warm, compassionate, and authentic Clinical Psychologist Registrar with a passion for providing client-centred care within a safe and warm environment.
My experience includes working in a variety of clinical settings, private practice, in-patient hospital, university clinics and a high school.
During my training and clinical work, I have worked with a range of presentations including:
- anxiety
- depression
- relationship and interpersonal difficulties
- perfectionism
- food-related difficulties
- self-esteem issues; and
- stress
When working with clients, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities. These include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-based therapies. Tailoring my interventions to address the needs of each client ensures my passion for creating a pathway for support, change, growth, and hope is achieved.
In addition, I endeavor to facilitate a process with the individual to help them understand and further explore their current difficulties. This typically involves exploring past experiences and the emotions associated with such experiences.
I have a particular interest in working with young adults and adults. My specific areas of interest include:
- Relationship difficulties
- Low self-esteem
- Perfectionism
- Stress management
