Claire Arrowsmith

Hi there,
My name is Claire and I’m a new MSW grad serving folks like you on traditional, ancestral, and stolen Sinixt lands – seeing clients in person and online in Nelson, BC as of September 2025. In my two master’s practicums I’ve focused on helping couples strengthen their attachment bonds through my training in emotionally focused therapy (EFT). I also plan to pursue further training in emotionally focused family therapy, to help children of any age improve their relationship with themselves and with their parent(s)/caregiver(s).
I welcome folks of all races, genders, and sexual orientations into therapy – with an understanding that I do primarily work with couples and families as opposed to individuals.
In addition to the Rogerian, humanistic style of EFT, I am also influenced by narrative therapy and actively expand my skills and knowledge toward being trauma-informed. EFT can be a wonderful opportunity to process inter-relational trauma in the context of family dynamics.
Please email me at claire.arrows@gmail.com for free (one couple/family per year) or low-cost ($0-50) counselling, and let’s talk about your needs and how I might be able to help.
