Starting their journey working with young people in 2013 as a counsellor in a high school, Claire discovered their passion for supporting young people to thrive and, after working as a counsellor at sleep away camps for at risk youth, moved into outreach casework roles working across a number of organisations and settings before landing in a house manager role for an out-of-home care provider. It was here that they were first exposed to TCI and were put forward to become a TCI Trainer.
Having witnessed the significant impact TCI can have on the well-being of children, young people, their carers, and organisations, Claire has transitioned her focus from providing direct care to young people to empowering those who deliver it. She now dedicates herself to supporting direct care workers and their team leaders to develop the skills needed to therapeutically manage crises whilst overseeing the Sydney region as a Program Manager at her home organisation.
Claire holds a Masters of Counselling, BSc in Psychology & Human Movement, and is a CARE Educator.
