Hi, I'm Clare. I am a professional counsellor offering a safe, non-judgmental space to explore whatever has brought you to seek support. Whether you are looking for a greater understanding of yourself or want to work through a specific issue, I will help guide you through it as best I can.

I trained as a counsellor later in my career, having spent the first 20 years as a member of the emergency services. That experience gave me a real appreciation of how life circumstances can affect us and how challenging change can be. I have vast experience helping people heal from a wide range of life challenges, including rebuilding after loss, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and general feelings of dissatisfaction. Whatever you need support with, you are more than welcome.

I am trained in three therapeutic modalities , humanistic counselling, CBT and psychodynamic counselling , and I integrate all three, beginning from a person-centred perspective. That means you are at the centre of the counselling experience at all times. I work holistically, examining the mind and body connection, strengthening your supports and helping you build new skills. I believe strongly in the value of healthy boundaries and self-worth, and I work practically to support both.
