Needing some help is something that most of us can go through at some point in life, but by acknowledging you need some help you have already come a long way. Working together we can make a difference in how you cope with and live your life. Over the years I have worked in a variety of places helping people who are struggling with issues such as fear, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, stress, self harm, addiction, co dependency, anger, relationships and loss. I have had a private practice for nearly 4 years, I spent 2 years working in schools with young people as a school counsellor and 10 years in addiction treatment.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and I offer outdoor therapy in a natural setting, as well as traditional sessions in a clinic. My approach is based on developing a caring and compassionate therapeutic relationship with you, as this is the most active ingredient for effective therapy. I deliver outdoor therapy as nature is healing for our mental and physical health and wellbeing. Through nature we can learn more about ourselves and how we want to live our lives. And the natural environment can offer us tools to enhance the therapeutic work. You can choose whether you prefer the comfort of the indoors or the freedom of the outdoors!

Offering person-centred online counselling to adults (18+) seeking assistance to find a sense of calm and balance when faced with adversity and the difficulties life can present. In order to understand the impact of an issue and work through it with care and respect, it is often helpful to appreciate the person and their experience, which is why together we will aim to adopt a compassionate, empathetic and non-judgemental approach to our sessions. As a person-centred counsellor, I draw from positive psychology, mental fitness and compassion focused therapy techniques to invite empowerment and client autonomy.

Hey, I’m Clare… firstly, well done for getting this far, I understand how daunting it can feel to reach out when you’re struggling with various issues. Looking on this directory I can see there are a lot of wonderful counsellors who are waiting to be able to help you, offering lots of different forms of therapy. I was just wondering how I would feel If I was in your shoes right now?? I am pretty sure that I wouldn’t have a clue what all the different therapy words mean or what they all do. If you would like a brief informal chat to discuss all of this, please feel free to get in touch.

Do you feel overwhelmed with the stressors of modern day living and would like to explore options for a more fulfilling life? Are you feeling exhausted at meeting the needs of others and find it difficult to find time for your own needs or unable to say “no” to the needs of others without feeling guilty? Perhaps you need support to develop better ways of coping in times of stress or explore your own ways of behaving and relating with other people. It maybe that you are feeling a sense of emptiness and fulfilment and feel depressed or anxious and are looking for clearer direction and life meaning.

We offer a free initial meeting of 30 minutes to meet us and the horses. In this way you will get a feel for how we work. You do not need any experience of horses and there is no riding.

We can all have intense feelings that we find difficult to control. Falling into the same old patterns, getting angry, ashamed or stressed instead. Emotions can cause relationship problems leaving us feeling misunderstood, anxious or depressed. This can be a lonely & isolating place where we may feel stuck. Whether it be relationships with family, friends, neighbours - they can be stressful to deal with, especially when trying to work out acceptable boundaries, forgive or trying to repair damaged relationships. I help get to know the nervous system and build better bonds (I am the creator of the Polyvagal Teen resources).

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
