I achieve this by weaving together various theories and techniques, such as Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred, and Psychodynamic therapies.
Another essential aspect of my integrative approach is acknowledging the importance of both the past and the future. Delving into a client's history can shed light on their present circumstances and uncover patterns that have contributed to their arrival in my consulting room. By understanding these roots, we can often discover the answers clients seek.

Some people arrive with a clear understanding of what they’re struggling with, while others simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right. You may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stuck in repeating patterns, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Others come with bigger questions around identity, meaning, relationships, or how to exist more comfortably in the world. Sometimes these experiences show up not only emotionally, but physically too- through anxiety, tension, numbness, overwhelm, shutdown, or a sense of feeling disconnected from your body.

I try to make therapy as available to as many people as I possible can. The cost of therapy can be quite steep so I keep my prices as low as I can so that more can access it. Therapy is about getting to where you want to be by making your own unique road map, so that you can use it again in the future if need be. I'm an Addiction Psychologist by trade, with 18 years of private practise behind me, but a lot of my work is helping many different age groups with problems such as OCD and PTSD etc. Please feel free to contact me and we can have a chat to see if i can be any help to you.

Clients have come to me for many different reasons. From dealing with past traumas, connecting with their emotions and understanding their reactions, to working on a better sense of self and building confidence. Each client comes to therapy seeking a safe and non-judgmental space to unpack their thoughts and emotions. They often come because they don't feel heard in their day-to-day life, or need somewhere to explore emotions without fear of reactions or feelings of guilt.

Hi. I'm Clare, Perhaps feeling anxious has brought you here today or you're juggling everything and trying to hold it together. Maybe you're navigating a' painful breakup, grieving the loss of a loved one or pet, or you are - or have been, in a relationship thats left you doubting your worth, feeling burnt out from juggling too much, saying yes when you mean no, never switching off? These are just some of the many reasons people reach out for support. Whatever your reason is, if it is something you are struggling with, its important to me too. Reaching out is never as scary as you think and it could be the best thing you do.

Hi, I'm Leigh, and I believe people usually come to therapy not because something is “wrong” with them, but because life has become overwhelming or difficult to carry alone. Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, anger, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties and feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental. Together we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface, develop greater self-understanding, and begin finding ways forward that feel more manageable and empowering.
