I am trained to support patients who are parents.
Hello. I'm Clare. If you're here and reading this, you're probably looking for support with your mental health. I can be there for you in a way that suits you best. Therapy is not one size fits all; I first work to understand where you're at and then I'll meet you there. Are you looking to worry a lot less or enjoy your life a lot more? Do you want to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours? Would you like greater emotional resilience? Perhaps you're a self-improver wanting greater self awareness? I can help with that. You are not alone and you deserve support.

Have you ever felt stuck with your family or work roles? Do the people who are meant to love you unconditionally, frequently hold you back? Do you find yourself constantly feeling the need to apologise for things, then wondering what you have done wrong? Maybe you have felt blamed for things in life and want to explore things further. Or you may feel held back by guilt and regret. I can work with you to explore this through a safe and steady process which looks at patterns across your life and within relationships. This will help you to break free from the restraints of negative approval you may have felt for many years.

People often reach out when something in their life feels heavy, confusing or quietly overwhelming. You don’t need to have a clear story to begin. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can slow down, speak honestly, and explore what feels out of step or painful. Much of what shapes us lives below the surface — old patterns, shame, grief, relationships, the body’s responses. Therapy is a place to bring these into conversation, gently and at your pace, so that new understanding and possibilities can begin to emerge.

Counsellor, MBACP Accred

I have over 18 years experience working as a counsellor and have experience of working with clients with eating disorders, couples, OCD, anxiety, grief, abuse, loss, post-traumatic stress, trauma, depression, stress, addictions, gambling, autism, ADHD, sexuality, self-esteem, sexual identity, parenting issues, self-harm, anger issues, co-dependency
Hi, I'm Sarah. I have over 18 years experience as a counsellor. We all have times when we find it hard to cope. Counselling can help you understand why you think, feel and act like you do. It can help you develop positive strategies to get what you want out of life. How we think, feel and behave is part of being human. Problems can arise when we get 'stuck' in negative thought patterns; when our feelings become overwhelming; when our behaviour is self-destructive and doesn't result in us getting what we need; when we worry about the future, dwell on the past and find it hard to live in the present.

Loss changes us. It can turn our world upside down, whether it comes through the death of a loved one, the loss of a cherished pet, the end of a relationship, loss of identity, or a major life change. Each of these losses carries its own weight, and no two experiences are ever the same. These experiences often bring a range of valid emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, exhaustion, overwhelm, feeling lost, or a sense of being disconnected from oneself. I specialise in supporting clients navigating this difficult times, and I draw from my extensive training, working at Macmillan Cancer Support, and my own personal experience.

Most people don't come to me saying "I'm being manipulated." They say things like "I feel confused," "I'm always the one giving more," or, "I think I'm dealing with a narcissist,", "I don't understand what I'm doing wrong." They know something isn't right — and they often assume the problem is them. If you're feeling stuck, depleted, or like you're walking on eggshells in a relationship — romantic, family, friendship or work — you're in the right place.

Using materials such as paint, pastels or clay allows feelings to be explored through creativity. You don’t need to be artistic – the focus is simply on expression and understanding. If talking feels easier, that is absolutely welcome too. Art can be used alongside conversation whenever it feels helpful.

Most people aren’t broken. They’re just used to not being heard. I work as a counsellor and psychotherapist from a person-centred perspective, grounded in a simple but often overlooked belief: people already hold the capacity to understand themselves, face what’s difficult, and change the direction of their lives. In a culture obsessed with quick fixes and neat labels, I offer something different—a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or be anything other than real. A space built on honesty, empathy, and acceptance. I don’t position myself as the expert on your life. You are.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
