Clayton Elliott MNCS (Prof Accred)

As a therapist, I'm here to work with people in distress to help them live a more fulfilling life. Whether you're struggling with relationship issues, anxiety or deeper worries from the past, I have a wealth of experience to help you.

I believe that with the right support, we all have the power to make positive changes in our lives. As one of my clients said, my job is to be an 'emotional GPS' and I can be there to help you navigate the difficulties you face so that you can get where you want to go.

My counselling style is rooted in the Person-Centred Approach. I start with the belief that, with the right support, we all have the ability to move towards a more fulfilling and satisfying way of being and living our lives.

Although my core training is in the Person-Centred Approach, I have a keen interest in other approaches, including mindfulness, eco-therapy and existentialism, which may be helpful for some people.

Although counselling is traditionally provided as weekly 50-minute sessions I believe in offering flexibility. We can have one-off sessions to simply talk through a pressing issue, or arrange regular ongoing sessions to delve a little deeper.

As well as working privately, I am the Managing Director and Senior Counsellor with the charity 'Counselling for Social Change'.  In the past I have also volunteered for Addaction (Drug & Alcohol recovery) and worked with GamCare (Gambling Addiction).

I am a Registered and Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society and adhere to their Ethical Framework. In addition to being a counsellor, I hold a degree in Sociology and Writing and am an experienced Cooperative and Community Development Worker. Beyond the counselling room, I am a father, musician and writer and have worked and volunteered for environmental and community organisations for most of my adult life.
