I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), and I abide by their code of ethics and professional standards.
I came to counselling through my work as an Holistic Therapist of 20 years, I hold a degree in Health Science with Complementary Therapies in addition to qualifications in Aromatherapy, Reiki and Crystal Therapy and I like to be able to offer my clients an holistic approach, through mind, body and spirit, as each effects the other.
I have a private practice and have clients with eating disorders, relationship issues, bereavement among others but I specialise in counselling survivors of Domestic Abuse (physical, mental, emotional, sexual and historic).
Being with my clients, as they have journeyed through some difficult situations, showing them empathy and honesty, has supported them to break through some their obstacles to a happier more fulfilled life and future.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Anger management, Depression, Domestic violence, Sexual assault and abuse
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy

I am new to therapy and Clare has been a godsend. She is a great listener and offers me thoughtful solutions and communication tools. She is professional yet warm. I actually look forward to our sessions and always leave feeling better.

Clare has been very accommodating. The time difference is a big factor to me responding to messages. However Clare is really great about responding when she can and even if I have yet to schedule another session. She will respond via messages. Feedback when I send journals/complete worksheets have timely. Clare has been very respectful of my concerns.

I have done some therapy before but Clare is one of a kind. Her skills and experience makes it seem like she has an almost magical way of hearing and perceiving exactly what I’m trying to say even when I can’t explain it very well. I’m making some of the most progress I have in years and my quality of life is getting better and better thanks to her thorough listening and guidance of what homework I can do to help me. She really understands the needs I have in the moment as well as the oversight for how I can grow long term and I’m very grateful to have found a therapist I can hold this much confidence in.

In the last year I have been looking for a therapist with whom I can feel at ease and who is very involved in my therapeutic process. I believe that Clare is an empathetic therapist, involved and concerned with finding solutions with me that will make me feel better. My deeply painful experience was completely understood by Clare who I feel does not judge me and validates my emotions. Finally, after a long time, I feel more engaged and feel my valid emotions. Thank you!
