Hi, I'm Clare. I understand that beginning therapy may feel daunting, but I offer a calm space with empathy, open-mindedness, and understanding. I will work at your pace to guide you through your journey. I can offer a variety of creative techniques if it may feel difficult to articulate feelings. I'm interested in you, your experiences, and your goals.

Life can present us with unexpected and difficult challenges. Talking therapy provides a safe space to process and work through your feelings. I work with a range of issues, but specialise in sexual trauma work. I have worked in the domestic/sexual abuse sector for nearly 20 years, supporting both adults and children before qualifying as a counsellor. As a therapist, I can support those who may be experiencing trauma symptoms or who may want to process abuse they have experienced.

Working integratively, I use the person-centered theory, which offers acceptance, honesty and positivity to guide you, the expert on your life, to achieve your goals. l also work with the psychodynamic approach, which helps to understand how feelings and behaviour are shaped by our past and subconscious. I have a warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental approach and will work with what feels right for you.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer any questions, discuss my approach and way of working. I'm happy to provide you with the information you need to decide if this is the right therapy for you.

Sessions are 50 mins and I offer in person, online or telephone counselling.
