About me
My name is Claire Daniels, and my coaching practice is based in Merrow, Guildford. I have worked in Pastoral roles, including Home School Link Worker positions and as Senior Mental Health Lead, in Primary and Secondary schools over the last eight years. I have extensive experience of working with children and young people across a wide range of different areas, and in particular in supporting their positive mental health and wellbeing. As a qualified Psychologist (graduating with a BSc Honours Psychology Degree in 2017, which included modules on 'Counselling' and 'Child Development') and as a certified Coach, I combine my experience with a highly practical, friendly, relaxed and non-judgemental approach.
​
My experience also includes the following:
​
-
Certificate in Coaching with Worth-It Youth Coaching (accredited by the Association for Coaching (AC)
-
Senior Mental Health Lead accreditation with the Anna Freud Centre for Mental Health
-
ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) accreditation
-
CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Children and Young People’s Mental Health with The Skills Network
-
Youth Mental Health First Aider Certification
-
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
​I am Mum to two young people, now aged 21 and 19 years, who were students at two of our amazing local schools, Boxgrove Primary and George Abbot. They are now both off at University and making their way in the world, which is exciting to see! I live in Merrow with my husband, Thomas and our friendly dog, Waffle…here she is below!
