A Merseyside-based woman who has attempted to take her own life multiple times now empowers others through style coaching.
Claire Welch-Beasley, from the Wirral, has “fought a long battle with mental health problems” having been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder over a decade ago and ADHD this year. The 31-year-old has been on a “monumental journey of change” to get to where she is today - a place where she can help others.
The fashion lover’s mental health started declining in high school when she was bullied for being a “goth” who dressed alternatively. Having acne and glasses only added to the daily teasing where she would be called a “freak” and a “weirdo” amongst other things. As a result of her teenage years, Claire developed social anxiety and spent most of her time in her bedroom.
