About Claire

I feel deeply honoured to share this manifestation of my life's work. I have always loved to learn, and at the age of twelve began my fascination with topics of mysticism and ancient esoteric practices. Most influential to the decision to pursue this pathway was, by far, the experience of debilitating depression (diagnosed later) that I was unable to comprehend or seemingly resolve for myself. My interest in studying psychology predated this decline in mental health - I had always been a highly sensitive child, and I naturally adopted the role of healer and protector in my relationships, which became the combined focus of my curiosity. I was convinced that there had to be a reason, or explanation for, the patterns that continued to emerge in my life. I was also highly motivated to change this experience to a more positive one, by any means necessary! Twelve years later, I have an Arts degree from Victoria University of Wellington in Psychology and Criminology. I have lived free from depression for over two years now, and my passion for self-improvement and helping others has ultimately led me here. Welcome to Claire Consciousness, a space of transformation and rebirth through acquiring self-knowledge and creating art.
