Claire lives a rather hectic life common in most
families, raising three active boys of fifteen, thirteen
and ten. Professionally, she trained and qualified as a
clinical psychologist in England before moving to
Australia for seventeen years. In that time she was
employed as a clinical psychologist working with
families and children at risk of harm and began writing
about parenting, child development and family issues.
She then returned to the UK and in 2006 presented ITV1’s
primetime show ‘Driving Mum and Dad Mad’. More
recently, she presented at National RESPECT academies on
the issues of parenting and parenting support.
Claire works for the NHS as a consultant clinical
psychologist supporting families and children in the
West Midlands. Her work focuses on minor and major
challenges for families, such as managing temper
tantrums, helping children sleep, and keeping
relationships alive, as well as more specialist areas
such as parent-child attachment, bullying, disabilities
and anxiety in children.
In 2007 Claire collaborated on the publication of ‘Your
Child Year by Year’, published by Dorling Kindersley and
her next book ‘Ask A Parenting Expert’ (also published
by Dorling Kindersley) comes out in July 2009.
Claire is a regular contributor on child, teen and
parenting topics on radio and in local and national
papers, magazines and websites. |
