Hello, I’m Clare and I offer a compassionate and confidential space for you to explore any difficulty you may be experiencing. We can work together to make sense of your situation and feelings. I will listen, gently challenge your beliefs and encourage fresh perspectives. This approach builds on the momentum that brought you to therapy in the first place. I will work with you to help you feel understood and more at ease in your life. My therapeutic approach is integrative and is largely based on Gestalt Therapy, Attachment theory and Psychodynamic Therapy.
My approach works well for a range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress & relationship problems. I have undertaken training to understand how psychotherapy can be helpful for people with ADHD and Autism. I work in a collaborative style, offering opportunities to discuss what is working well (or not) in order to enhance the therapy.
I suggest we meet for a free 20 minute online consultation. This initial meeting will give you a sense of who I am and how we can work together. From there you can decide whether you would like to book some sessions with me.

Clients often come to me knowing that something isn't working so well, be it the roles or masks they put on, or ways of being that no longer serve them. The energy used to fulfil such demands causes symptoms like low mood, anxiety or strained relationships. I treat each client as unique, and aim to help my clients realise and accept who they are, allowing greater freedom and ease in their lives.
