Meet Clare
I offer a compassionate and confidential space for you to explore any difficulty you may be experiencing. We can work together to make sense of your situation and feelings.
I will listen, gently challenge your beliefs and encourage fresh perspectives. This approach builds on the momentum that brought you to therapy in the first place. I will work with you to help you feel understood and more at ease in your life.
​
​I believe that past events do impact us in the present but we don't need to go digging around looking for them.
If something is impacting you it will show up in your day to day life in your relationships, memories, thoughts and general wellbeing. We will focus on these present day occurrences.
Together we will bring greater awareness to your emotions and relationship patterns, finding out what is important to you and what you need to move forward.​
​​​
My therapeutic approach is integrative and is largely based on Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Existential Therapy. It is a talking therapy at times incorporating psychological education or creative interventions into our work together.
​​
I have undertaken training to understand how psychotherapy can be helpful for people with ADHD and Autism. I work in a collaborative style, offering regular opportunities to discuss what is working well in order to enhance the therapy to meet your needs.
