Biography
Claire Holmes is Head of School Counselling at Tanglin Trust School, Singapore where she leads a team of counsellors who work across the whole school K-13. Claire’s counselling modality is strength-based, empowering others to access their own inner wisdom and knowing. Her practice incorporates Expressive Therapies, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused interventions. In her role she teaches MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) to parents and staff.
"The Moving On series gives all who work with children a powerful, practical tool to help them 'leave well so they can enter well'. As each book focuses on a particular stage of the moving process, children can find words and create images to express the often-paradoxical feelings any move can make. I highly recommend it!"
Ruth E. Van Reken, co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds
