About me
A warm welcome my name is Clare-Marie, at times life can be so challenging leaving us feeling overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, depression, stress etc. Our self-esteem could be at an all-time low and we may struggle with how to manage those raw emotions. This may be down to grief, family issues, emotional abuse, low confidence/self-esteem, life changes etc. I can work with you in unravelling those thoughts and feelings that continue to ruminate and drag you do so you feel heard and validated. My approach is mainly person centred so full of warmth and empathy whilst combing CBT.

I have an up to date DBS which means I have gone through rigorous police checks to work with vulnerable adults. I am fully insured and work all over the UK.
Before I became a counsellor, I spent many years working in the care sector, this included working within palliative care, secure mental health units, elderly care, education learning disabilities etc. Through gaining this experience it became apparent how those who were struggling with everyday life really needed someone to listen to them in a safe non-judgmental empathetic environment which made me look at a career in counselling. I have also been through various experiences in my own life that I feel has made me want to turn these experiences into positive ones by assisting those that are going through challenging times.

Further information
Individual Counselling
Some clients' issues are personal to them and affecting the individual in moving on and leading a happier life. This could be for a variety of reasons such as life changes, family issues, depression, anxiety, anger issues, self-esteem or OCD etc. We will explore your issues together; every client is different so I will work in a way that is centred round your uniqueness.
Couples Counselling
Some couples can reach a stage in their relationship where issues begin to arise, this may be for a variety of reasons such as Communication Problems, Intimacy Issues, Trust difficulties, Concerns round step/blended families etc. By talking through these concerns with someone that will remain non-judgmental and impartial, it can support you in ways of how to deal with the dilemmas experienced and so hopefully help the relationship move on.
Employee Assistance Programme
I have experience of working with companies that signpost their employees to me for counselling through the workplace.
I am happy to offer sessions by video chat, or by telephone.
Relationship Counselling
As well as working with individuals I have a keen interest in working with couples to improve their relationships. I have carried out extra training in relationship counselling as this was one of the chosen modules during my counselling studies. It gave me a good grounding and understanding of the dilemmas couples struggle with. I have a keen interest in how couples can improve their relationship by supporting them unravel the issues that appear to be causing the discord in the hope they can have a more harmonious relationship.
Bereavement Counselling
This also is an area that I am also passionate about as I have carried out extensive training in loss and grief and volunteered for a large charity as a bereavement counsellor for many years. When we hear the word loss, we often associate this with a bereavement, but loss can include the breakdown of relationships, losing our independence, unemployment, declining health etc. so it can cover a wide range of difficulties that we encounter throughout our lives. It can be a very tough journey to be on so I will support you every step of the way with empathy and compassion.
