About me
Hi, I am Clare, a compassionate, warm, friendly, and professional integrative relational psychotherapist. I work alongside clients in a respectful, empowering, non-judgemental way, to deepen understanding, identify choices and enable change.
I believe that our early relationships and experiences have a profound impact on how we feel and behave, and on what we believe about ourselves and the world around us.
Having counselling will enable you to rediscover yourself in a safe place, where you can go at your own pace and allow yourself to release your true emotions that you may have locked away but are causing sensations of anxiety or unrest.
At the heart of how I work is to build a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship through attunement to your experience of the world, and how this emerges in the present. My approach is to guide you through your experiences, both past and present, and for us to work together to create an understanding of who you are and how you interact with your environment, paving the way for a more authentic you.
Together, we can discover any underlying issues behind the difficulties you are experiencing and by overcoming the echoes of your past, you will be in a better place to move forward with your life.
I have experience of providing support and therapy for many different issues to a diverse range of people. My practice includes working with bereavement, addiction, loss, relationship and employment issues, confidence building, self-esteem, stress, and anxiety management, disordered eating, and health issues.
However, I value the uniqueness of each client and as such I tailor therapy to suit the needs and requirements for each person to attain their individual goals.

BA (Hons) QTS

Registered member of the BACP
My work is fully insured and professionally supervised in accordance with BACP guidelines and I adhere to the BACP Codes of ethics in my practice.
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.
