About me
My name is Clare Haycock and I am a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP and accredited member of the NCS. It is my mission to provide you with a confidential and safe space to feel at ease; to be valued; to be heard; and allow you that time to explore the issues which are currently causing concern, distress and anxiety.
Our initial meeting will give me the opportunity to learn more about you, your past, your present, and what brought you to counselling. This will lead us on to our work together, which will bring about understanding of the important issues, provide you with answers and tools to develop self-worth, self-esteem, and self-confidence which can be used long after our work together has been completed.
Through experience of the Health Sector and working in a G.P practice, I have gained knowledge and understanding with clients from different backgrounds, religion, age, gender, and sexuality; helping clients with a range of serious and distressing issues from health anxiety to child abuse, from suicidal ideation to bereavement.
I started my training in 2014, gaining knowledge and skills particularly in child loss and bereavement after completing my accreditation with the Foundation for Infant Loss. I went on to further my career by training in 'Complex Trauma and Child Sexual Abuse' with Zest for Life Training Services. I continue to develop my training and knowledge in the area of Trauma as I believe that everyone has suffered a trauma at some point in their life.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
