I particularly enjoy using Transactional Analysis to help understand styles of communication
Freedom is that time in space when you are allowed to be truly yourself – a time to do what you want, when you want it and not be shackled by others agenda’s. This singular word is extremely precious and valuable to me because there have been times when I felt I had no freedom. My aim is to work with you in a holistic way, taking into account mind, body and spirit. My training allows me to tailor make the therapy to you at any individual time. I work with a variety of issues and believe that everyone has the capability for change in their lives.

Psychodynamic counselling or psychotherapy is effective in allowing you to make positive changes to your life, so you can deal with any overwhelming issues that are causing you emotional pain, unhappiness, or stress now. Perhaps you're feeling trapped or blocked by the past, feeling stuck in survival mode with old patterns that keep resurfacing. Maybe you are recently grieving from a loss of some kind, or can’t make sense of a general flatness or despair with feelings of depression, and anxiety. I provide a non-judgemental, inclusive space to explore these difficult parts, thoughts and feelings to gain greater understanding.

I offer a nonjudgemental, calming and empathic space for anyone in need of support. We live in an increasingly difficult and stressful world and it can feel overwhelming at times. I hope to provide a safe space for an individual to be themselves and feel able to explore what it is that distresses them and what they need to feel better.

At times life can become difficult and challenging and you maybe experiencing overwhelming feelings and struggling to know what to do. This may be impacting your day to day life and could be due to, but not limited to, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, relationship struggles, the impact of loss or traumatic events. Acknowledging this and letting go of elements which no longer benefit you may not be easy. I understand this and also recognise by contacting me you have reached a point where you would like some support, therefore I aim to respond to your enquiry promptly.

I work with Transactional Analysis (TA) primarily although I'm also trained in Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.
Therapy can be a profound process of change and discovery; nowhere else in our lives do we have the undivided attention of someone else. Together we'll look at repeating patterns in your life that are unhelpful for you and work to discover the root of these and make some changes. We make decisions about who we are in childhood and our relationship with the world that then become outdated. Therapy is about changing these decisions. I also incorporate mindfulness and awareness of the present moment into your therapy. The past can lead us to depression and the future to anxiety. Peace is in the present moment.

At times this may include working through challenges where you might feel anxious about change, our goal would be to address these areas.

Using a developmental-relational model as the foundation for my practice, I will integrate aspects of different modalities (such as Psychoanalysis, Object Relations, Self-Psychology, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Person Centred and CBT) to create a customised approach which is compatible with your history, way-of-being, skill set and goals.
Does it seem like others are coping better, enjoying more successful lives or more fulfilling relationships? I'm here to help. Level 7-qualified, I work at depth- engaging with underlying patterns and processes- to support your journey of self-discovery, healing and personal growth. In practice since 2015, I have supported a diverse range of clients. I work with individuals, not issues per se, hence- whether we were undertaking short or longer-term therapy- I would focus upon engaging with you as a whole person; multifaceted, with a unique history and a distinct way-of-being.

Personal Statement
I’m Clare Shanahan, founder of 3Thinking Therapies, and I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with a warm, professional, and highly personalised approach. With years of experience, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, supporting them through anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem challenges, addiction, and relationship difficulties.

I’m a qualified psychotherapist, and I help people with the messiness of life and figure out what’s holding them back, Therapy with me isn’t about bullshit advice or forced positivity.

While trained primarily in Transactional Analysis (TA), I take an integrative approach bringing in my life experiences and ongoing exploration of different methodologies, I am also trained for a trauma focused approach.
Life often throws many ups and downs our way. Sometimes we cope and sometimes it feels just too much. Therapy can help you regain your equilibrium, providing a safe space for you to share your concerns with somebody who will really listen. I know it can be difficult to ask for help, “I have no right to feel like this because ...” is a common sentiment - but you do have that right. Counselling can help you to understand yourself and build your own resilience and long term mental well-being. Whether you wish to tackle a particular dilemma or explore underlying issues, it is important you allow yourself the time and space you need.

I would describe my integrative style as an assimilative approach with psychodynamic theory at its core, integrated with Person centred theory, Transactional analysis and attachment therapy.
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to work within a role where I'm able to help and support others. I see myself as someone who has the ability to demonstrate an attitude of respect and sensitivity towards others. Within my work, I aim to provide a comfortable environment and establish a warm therapeutic relationship, as a believe this is a key factor within the therapeutic process For me therapy is like peeling an onion. It is up to you which layer of the onion you want to focus on and in how much detail.

As a psychotherapeutic counsellor trained in Transactional Analysis (TA), my approach is to work together, to explore the dynamics of your relationships, both past and present, and how these might be impacting your current emotional well-being.
Reaching out to a counsellor can seem daunting but the process is led by you. We can have a short call to discuss what's brought you to therapy & how our sessions will work, to make sure that we are the right therapeutic fit for each other. There is no pressure to book an appointment at the end of this call and you are welcome to take time to think about it.
