Whether you have a diagnosis or not. If you have any of the following symptoms: a cough, breathlessness, blocked nose, mucus, snoring or recurrent chest infections – I can help you. Give me a call or email me for more details.
Whatever your level of fitness, your breathing pattern can make or break your ability to achieve your goals. Optimised breathing influences biochemistry, biomechanics and emotional wellbeing. Small changes can make large improvements. I can help you with those small changes.
We are here to help you. Whether you suffer from Asthma or Anxiety, Breathlessness, Brain fog, an ongoing cough, or congestion, we can help. If you feel as though you are not getting enough air, gasp, sigh, or yawn more than most, or you want to improve your sports performance, we can help you build a solid foundation for your optimum health and performance. We can also help with:

I am Claire, a Highly Specialist Respiratory Physiotherapist and lead therapist at The Breathing Clinic, targeting West Sussex and surrounding areas.
I qualified over 30 years ago with an interest in respiratory physiotherapy. My interest became a passion, and over the past 25 years, I have been on a mission to learn about breathing techniques, such as Buteyko breathing, from the best teachers in the world. I can offer you my knowledge, expertise, and all my experience to identify the source of your problem quickly and hone your treatment accordingly.
I have worked in New Zealand and the UK, on wards and ITU, collaboratively and independently, for the NHS and privately. I have provided training to GP’s in Surrey and Sussex as well as lecturing at the Respiratory Show for two years running. I’ve been trained by Leon Chaitow in techniques to reduce pain and stiffness caused by breathing dysfunction.
I have led Pulmonary Rehabilitation courses, achieved the Les Mills Advanced Personal Trainers qualification, gained my Advanced Buteyko practitioner qualification for Adults and Children. I studied Breathing Pattern Disorders and Hyperventilation Syndrome in NZ, gained a BradCliff Long Covid treatment certificate and have been accepted for their world-renowned training scholarship. I will soon be able to add to this list: practical training from Dr. Rosalba Courtney (in person!).
When I’m not working: I belong to a vibrant church, I have teenage daughters who are simultaneously a delight and a challenge. I love to cycle, drink coffee, and eat dairy-free cake.
You can choose how to receive your personalised course of treatment. You can see me in clinic at Wellness34, Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, I can come to your home, or I work virtually. Whether you are seeking help with breathlessness, help with COPD, or help with Long Covid, I am happy to work with a combination of these options to suit your schedule. You will receive handouts, a treatment programme tailored to your unique needs, and access to me if you have queries or questions.
I am delighted to offer my services in East and West Sussex, Kent, Surrey, and parts of Hampshire.
