Belinda Clair

I offer a safe, caring, non-judgmental space for you to explore your troubling feelings and thoughts.  I walk alongside you, listen to your stories, help you connect with those painful parts and support you to gain the tools to improve your life.

I am a Therapeutic Counsellor, and my practice is based in Oxton, Wirral. It is an Integrated practice which means that I draw upon theories such as Person Client-Centred, CBT and Transactional Analysis; this allows my approach to adapt to fit the unique individual client. Being client-centred means I put the client at the centre of everything as they are the expert of their own experience.

MY APPROACH

My approach is guided and informed by Person Centered Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, Breathwork but essentially, I am influenced by you. I will take a holistic approach to your feelings; exploring your past and any patterns or beliefs that may be holding you back. I will challenge and guide you in the sessions, but we will always work at your pace, and you won't be pushed to talk about anything you're not ready or able to. 

Being a Holistic Therapist I also work with acute and chronic physical stress illness from the whole person perspective. Focussing on addressing the somatic, emotional impact and its physical manifestations.   

WHAT I OFFER

I can offer a combination of Talk Therapy and Body Somatic Therapy for effective emotional and traumatic healing. This approach allows you to have a greater understanding of your emotional triggers and responding patterns of behaviour which facilitates growth and self-development.

I also provide Walking and Talking Therapy which is very popular and useful. Being out in the open can be more beneficial for you.

THE THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP

I am passionate about what counselling can do to help improve lives. I'm committed to making sure that everyone I work with feels heard, accepted, and understood. Central to my practice is building a strong therapeutic relationship with you. I see therapy as a process of working together exploring what can help improve how you feel. It may be through adopting new awareness, new perspective or through finding new coping skills to help manage challenges and seek help before it becomes overwhelming. 

I believe that a secure therapeutic relationship allows connection to the true self, beliefs, and values. It can also support finding greater peace of mind. Together we can discuss your concerns and look at your experiences in a non-judgmental, accepting environment. I will not make decisions for you or impose my own opinion as I believe each person holds their own solutions within themselves. I have witnessed how clients have transformative lightbulb moments, new points of awareness and new perspectives that become clearer. I will always have you best interest at heart.

The sessions last at least 50 minutes.

I work from my counselling room in Oxton and offer face to face, online or telephone counselling. With regular reviews,

I currently offer weekdays, evenings and weekends sessions. 

Counselling sessions are £40 per session.

I am an Registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy); as such I abide by its safe and ethical framework, I have regular monthly supervision with an Accredited Supervisor and I invest in continuing professional development (CPD) to improve my overall knowledge and skills.

I am fully insured by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, and I can work with your persons and adults aged 18 above.
