About me

Hello, thank you for visiting my page. Each and every one of us needs support at different times in our life, reaching for support is not a weakness but a strength. If you are struggling to cope, feel low or depressed, or you just need to talk to someone who can help you explore your thoughts and feelings, please email or call me to see if I could be the right therapist for you.

I am an experienced BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, Fusion Therapeutic Life Coach, EFT practitioner, EMDR and REWIND (fast trauma release) therapist, who can support you at a time when you feel overwhelmed, upset or anxious. You will receive confidential, non-judgemental time and space so you can safely relax and focus on you, your solutions and your future.

What to expect from your first session

Finding the right therapist for you is vital, therefore, if required I am able to offer a no obligation initial 15 minute consultation at no charge.  This will give you an idea of how I work and a feel as to whether or not you feel comfortable with me.

Training, qualifications & experience


My qualifications to practice are as follows:

  • BA Hons in Counselling (First class)
  • BACP accredited Diploma in Person Centred Counselling
  • Individual BACP Accreditation
  • Advanced Post graduate Diploma in Person Centred Counselling for couples
  • Post Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic coaching - NCFE
  • International Association for Rewind Trauma therapy - qualified to practice the Rewind Technique
  • MBRMM (Mindfulness based mind management) -  Master Trainer
  • EFT Practitioner Cert
  • EMDR Level 4

I completed my BA Hons in Counselling at CONEL which is one of the leading training institutions in the UK. CONEL has a reputation for clinical and academic excellence and is part of Middlesex University.  It is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

Following on from this, my desire to enable clients to live better more fulfilling lives, led me to train as a Fusion Life Coach. I also completed training in EFT, REWIND and EMDR which has enabled me to develop a practice, incorporating a blend of the most effective counselling skills, advanced coaching and a little dose of common sense!  Putting you back in the drivers seat of your life.

The Rewind Technique is for clients with PTSD, flashbacks, anxiety and unwanted involuntary thoughts.

The Rewind Technique has become internationally recognised as indispensable to treat PTSD (www.iartt.com). It usually requires no more than two sessions to bring about closure for single traumas. The results are enduring - a follow up of two years showed no relapses in that period of time, it has an over 90% success rate.

I have experience of working with adults and young people within my private practice in Enfield where I offer both long and short term therapy

Previous experience consists of:

Providing one to one counselling for people whose lives who have been impacted by cancer, at the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity in North Middlesex Hospital.

School Counsellor within an independent secondary school for children with multiple special needs and behavioural problems.

Employed by the NSPCC for three years as a ChildLine counsellor, providing emotional support to young people up to the age of 18.

Volunteered for One in Four, a London based charity offering long term counselling for survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

I have worked with a variety of ages, cultures, religions and recognise that every person is individual and unique.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

REVIEWS

Clare was very supportive, created an incredibly open and calm environment to explore my story and how she could best help me to progress. Within a short period of time, we had explored some complex areas of my past that I had not fully understood the repercussions of. This has been incredibly helpful in understanding myself and how I can progress in future! I can't thank Clare enough for her help.

I immediately felt I could trust Clare. She was professional , down to earth, warm and kind. I saw her for 4 sessions for rewind technique in relation to a traumatic event. I felt something definitely shifted after the sessions, and have been much less troubled since. i would highly recommend her.

I couldn't reccommend Clare highly enough. I was very anxious about starting therapy and had put it off for so long, but I felt completely at ease with Clare. She never judged or rushed me, and helped me through so much in such a short space of time. Clare is incredibly knowledgeable in her field and has such a personable, approachable manner. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done to support me.

Clare has been my therapist for around 6 months; she is very knowledgeable, professional, empathetic and helpful. She has helped me work through, process and cope with relationship conflict, PTSD, work-related struggles, and self-esteem issues, among others. I really enjoyed Clare's way of bringing in explanations of how the brain processes life's issues and why that manifests itself in a certain way psychologically. Additionally, I liked the approach of getting down to main root of some thoughts or emotions that can be rooted in not just the most recent event, but in earlier childhood events. Lastly, I've always felt like she provides me with a safe, open-minded space, where I can speak to her about anything that comes up.

Clare has been an excellent support. Really helped me to process things, set goals, and focus on progress. Everything was explained in a clear, concise, solution focused manner. I felt comfortable working with Clare and would recommend her to anybody seeking support.

Clare has helped me immensely in the past few weeks. She does not waste time in the sessions and I feel we have achieved a lot in a short space of time. She is very understanding and I feel my emotions/struggles are validated. I would highly recommend Clare if you have suffered with anxiety/trauma/panic attacks.
02/02

Over the last two months Clare has been very supportive and understanding. I found Clare engaging, insightful and we worked through a number of issues which have enabled me to get back on track. Even though we met online for every session it felt as though this was no barrier and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for support at a difficult time.

Clare has really helped me deal with a lot of past trauma. She's kind and friendly and her help has been a huge benefit to me, my mental health and wellbeing and my family. Thank you Clare!
10/21

Clare has been an amazing help to me in coping with trauma that was caused by my husband's infidelity. It was important to me to find someone who understood trauma and could help with the fallout. Clare was the first person to recognise and help with things like flashbacks and nightmares, which has been a huge help to me and improved my wellbeing enormously. I have recommended Clare to multiple friends already.
06/21

Cannot recommend Clare enough. So knowledgeable, warm and I was put at ease straight away. My head was in such a mess before I started with Clare and within a few months she has given me the tools and techniques to deal with things better and to understand myself more and get control back over my life and emotions. I leave every session feeling really optimistic about the future. Highly recommend
05/21

Clare really helped me through a very difficult time. I felt completely lost before I had sessions with her and I can't say how thankful I am for her wonderful help. She is incredibly knowledgeable, warm and immediately puts you at ease. Her techniques & sessions have been great in helping me work through past traumas and pain. I highly recommend Clare.
10/21

Clare was exactly everything I was looking for in a therapist.
