Hello, I'm Clare. I am a therapist specialised in working with children, teens and young adults aged 4-25. If you, or your child, is feeling overwhelmed by life, therapy can be a big first step. I help children and young people understand and make sense of their feelings and experiences. I provide a calm and encouraging space to support a range of difficulties. Building on the therapeutic relationship is key and I work with empathy in a non-judgemental capacity to support autonomy, connection and change. I work both in person and online. I have private therapy spaces in Oving and Winslow, Buckinghamshire and Tring, Hertfordshire.
As an integrative therapist I combine cognitive and creative therapies to provide the best support. I have a calm, supportive and adaptive approach to meet the varying needs of my clients. I work with difficulties including anxiety, school/university/work issues, family dynamics, intrusive thoughts, loss, relationships, self-esteem, stress and trauma.
Starting therapy for your self or your child can be a difficult first step. So, before starting, I offer a free 30-minute initial meeting to talk through your concerns and what feels most difficult right now.
Call or Clare South now for a free 15 minute consultation - 01296 929246

I use an integrative approach depending on which type of therapy works best for the client to make progress. My foundation is person-centred which means sessions are client led. Creative therapies provide a safe medium to explore difficulties; systemic therapy works on family and relationships; CBT targets specific issues in thoughts and behaviour like anxiety.
