About me
Are you fed up?
Maybe you're functioning on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, overwhelmed or simply not feeling like yourself. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, low self esteem, burnout, relationships, neurodiversity or difficult experiences from the past. Or, maybe you just know that something isn't quite right, but you're not sure where to start.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I just know I'm not coping."
I'm Clare, and I'm the person behind Emerald Space. I offer online counselling across the UK for adults aged 18 and over.
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out or stuck — particularly when you've spent a long time trying to hold everything together.
I'm not here to analyse you or tell you "what's wrong" with you.
My aim is to give you a space where you don't have to have everything figured out before you arrive. You can talk openly, without judgement, and at a pace that feels manageable for you. I'll listen carefully, help you make sense of what's going on, and gently challenge you when that feels helpful.
You don't need to have a "good enough" reason to come to counselling. If something is affecting you, that's enough.
I also understand that finding a time for counselling isn't always easy. I offer appointments Tuesday to Saturday, from afternoons into evenings, with sessions priced at £45 for 60 minutes.
How I Work
I work in a person-centred, integrative way, adapting our work to you rather than expecting you to fit a particular method. One size does not fit all.
Sometimes you may simply need somewhere safe to talk and be heard. At other times, we might explore patterns, relationships, emotions or experiences.
Not sure whether I'm the right counsellor for you?
We can start with a free, informal 20 minute video call. It's a chance to meet, talk about what you're looking for and see how it feels - with absolutely no pressure to book afterwards.
When I Work
I offer online counselling for adults aged 18 and over across the UK, held via secure video platforms.
Shift work, unusual hours and busy schedules can make finding the right appointment time difficult. Where my availability allows, I'll do my best to offer appointments that work around different schedules, including afternoons, evenings and late appointments from Tuesday to Saturday.
Training, qualifications & experience
- I'm a BACP Registered Counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling.
- I have also completed the certificated Counselling Tutor Online and Telephone Counselling course.
- I continue to build on my training through ongoing CPD and learning.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Before booking your first session, we can have a free 20 minute introductory video call.
It's simply a chance to meet, talk about what you're looking for and see whether I feel like the right person for you. There's no pressure to book afterwards.
And if you're wondering whether you have a “good enough” reason to come to counselling, you don't need one.
You can come exactly as you are.
