Every journey begins with a single step towards a new horizon.
Hello, I’m Clare, a qualified therapeutic counsellor and BACP registered member. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore life’s challenges, understand yourself more deeply, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I believe wellbeing is a journey of growth and self-discovery. My work is relational and integrative, always centred around you and what you need in the moment, not the labels or jargon.
Together, we create space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change, helping you reconnect with your direction and your sense of possibility.
My Focus
To create a compassionate world where every individual feels empowered to navigate life's challenges with confidence, resilience, and hope.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and accepted for who they are.
My focus is on creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can explore life's challenges at your own pace. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, burnout, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you will be met with empathy, respect, and genuine curiosity.
As a trauma-informed and neuro-affirming therapist, I recognise that every person's experiences are unique. I understand the lasting impact that past experiences can have on the way we think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world around us. I also celebrate neurodiversity, recognising that there is no single "right" way to think, communicate, or experience life. My role is not to change who you are, but to understand you and adapt therapy to meet your individual needs.
I work relationally and integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches while always placing our therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work we do together. Rather than following a one size fits all approach, I tailor therapy to you; your experiences, your strengths, your goals, and the pace that feels right for you.
I don't believe therapy is about fixing people, because I don't believe people are broken. I believe that, given the right environment, we all have the capacity to grow, heal, and reconnect with ourselves. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, authenticity, and respect, helping you gain greater self-awareness, build resilience, and move towards the life you want to live.
Together, we'll create a space where healing, growth, and hope can flourish—empowering you to move towards new horizons with confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.
My Mission
My mission is to provide a safe, compassionate, and inclusive space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgement.
I am committed to offering ethical, trauma-informed, and neuro-affirming counselling that honours your unique experiences and supports you in exploring life's challenges at your own pace.
I believe that meaningful change comes through authentic connection, self-awareness, and empowerment.
Together, we'll work to help you build resilience, discover your strengths, and move towards a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are.
My Values
Compassion
I believe everyone deserves to be met with kindness, empathy, and respect. My aim is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, valued, and understood.
Authenticity
I value honest, genuine therapeutic relationships built on trust, openness, and acceptance. I bring my authentic self to our work and encourage you to do the same, without fear of judgement.
Empowerment
I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is not to provide all the answers, but to support you in recognising your strengths, developing confidence, and making choices that feel right for you.
Inclusivity
I am committed to providing an affirming, welcoming, and accessible space for everyone. I celebrate diversity and strive to ensure that every person feels respected, safe, and accepted for who they are.
Growth
I believe that wellbeing is a lifelong journey rather than a destination. Whatever challenges you are facing, I will walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow towards new horizons.
Integrity
As a BACP registered therapist, I practise ethically, professionally, and with transparency. I am committed to ongoing learning and reflective practice to ensure I provide the highest standard of care.
Hope
I believe that even in life's most difficult moments, hope can be found. Together, we'll create space to rediscover possibilities, embrace change, and look towards a future that feels meaningful and achievable.
What I can support you with
People come to counselling for many different reasons, and you don't need to have everything clearly defined before reaching out.
Some of the areas I have experience working with include:
-
Anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed
-
Low mood and loss of motivation
-
ADHD and neurodivergent experiences
-
Trauma and difficult past experiences
-
Grief and loss
-
Relationship and family difficulties
-
Self-esteem and confidence
-
Life transitions and change
-
Feeling “stuck” or unsure of direction
-
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
-
School, education, and identity-related challenges in young people and adultsesonates, that's enough to begin with.
Alongside these, many people come to therapy simply because something doesn't feel quite right, or because they want a space to understand themselves better.
You don't need to fit a label or have a clear reason for reaching out. If you're here and something rassonates, that's enough to begin with.
Whatever brings you to therapy, I will meet you with openness, curiosity, and respect for your unique experience.
Creating space for growth, reflection, and new horizons in your wellbeing journey.
