I understand how hard getting support can feel; not knowing how talking might help or if you’re ready to let someone share your inner world. Finding the right fit for you shouldn’t also be part of the struggle. Most people come to therapy to stop hiding. But for Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities, the therapy can sometimes feel like another place where you must mask, explain yourself, or justify your sensory needs. Whether you’re processing or exploring ADHD/Autism/AuDHD, exploring your gender or sexuality, or just ‘managing’ living in an inhospitable world, I provide a space where you don't have to translate yourself.

Hello My name is Clara and I am a humanistic counsellor I offer therapy face to face and online. In English & Spanish. Life as we know can be full of challenges. Sometimes things feel somewhat too difficult to just keep carrying on, at these times when carrying on, at these times when depression, fears, anxiety, lack of meaning and motivation are too big and overwhelming, therapy can feel like a sanctuary. A safe place to start making sense of it all, to feel supported, seen, heard and understood. The therapeutic relationship is such a powerful and healing gift to ourselves

The Human Givens approach uses the latest information from neuro-scientists on how the brain works; recent findings from psychologists and knowledge of which therapeutic interventions work effectively.
If you are coping with high levels of anxiety or depression, if past traumatic experiences are interfering in your ability to manage the present and sleep is problematic then this can change. By understanding what is happening in your system (mind and body), using your natural resources well and having some new tools to use, you can get back into balance, to the you that is resilient, able to focus and live to your potential.

Therapy is a space to be heard, understood, and supported, especially when it’s hard to name what’s wrong but the impact is deeply felt.

I specialise in attachment-based therapy and nervous system regulation, informed by polyvagal theory, to help you heal relationships, build safety, and foster deeper connections. Together, we’ll work to help you move forward with greater clarity, balance, and resilience.

Psychotherapist, MHGI
I have found the Human Givens approach to be the most relevant way of helping people re-connect with a life that works for them.
The way that a human life unfolds can bring challenges, and these may become stressful or overwhelming at times for almost anyone, which prevents us from living happy and meaningful lives. Very often a few effective sessions of the solutions-based therapy I offer can make a positive shift on the route to a balanced life again. My aim is to get you back in control, and enjoying life again. I have a wide experience of life to share, in a family setting, in business and in work of all kinds. By working with you to regain those central human needs which have temporarily gone missing, improvements usually follow quickly.

Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety or depression, or an addiction or addictive behaviour has started to dominate your days? Perhaps you are struggling to let go of a bad experience from your past? Maybe low self-esteem is limiting your potential? Or it could be that you just don’t feel like ‘you’ anymore….

I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or lonely. Or, you may have been struggling for some time and haven’t found the motivation to address it but now that struggle may be feeling a little bigger.
