Claire Grigson

Claire has been a small animal vet for over 18 years, and she still locums, because she genuinely loves her clients and patients. She isn't remembering what practice is like. She's living it, right alongside the people she coaches.

After a time in her life when she felt completely disconnected from who she was, coaching changed her relationship with herself. She trained as a certified and accredited coach, qualified as a breathwork and meditation guide, trained in trauma-informed somatic coaching, and has gone on to explore a number of other coaching approaches, so she can meet each person exactly where they are. She's currently training as a coach supervisor, supporting other coaches in their own work.

Outside vetmed, Claire has expertise and experience in dating and relationship coaching, with a particular interest in attachment theory. It shapes so much of how she helps people with the most important relationship of all: the one with themselves.

She co-founded Vet Empowered with Katie in 2020, and people describe working with her as 'a warm hug with infectious energy'. She has also grown a TikTok following of more than 20,000 on her personal account. She lives in Edinburgh with her dog, Cabbage.
