About me

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.

Clare has been absolutely fantastic. She is amazing at listening, going through my issues and helping me out. She has been so kind and helpful to me. I genuinely look forward to our sessions and feel like they are making a real difference. I cannot recommend her any higher.

Clare is an amazing therapist, during my time with Betterhelp she supported me with all my concerns 100% and was always available to respond to messages with great advice. I would recommend Clare to help with the treatment of anxiety.

Clare has been an amazing support and there to help me to see what I have been missing, giving me confidence and a belief to believe in myself and to help me realise I am enough. When things have been challenging she has been there to listen, show me empathy and help me see that I am doing what I can. I can view myself in a very negative light and Clare has helped to shine that light on the real me which is far more positive.

Clare has been extremely professional with me but also kind, warm and funny and helps me open up about my feelings.

Clare is amazing! My previous therapists have all felt like they were reading from a script. I feel like Clare listens, understands and offers me a different perspective, it comes from her expertise and her honesty. I do feel like I am talking to a sister or a friend, someone who remembers and takes into account all factors that have been mentioned in our calls and makes connections. I really enjoy our calls. Thank you Clare!

My therapist, Clare, is very experienced and has been a key part of my improvement. Our sessions are tailored to my needs and I am lucky to have come across a therapist with great skills!
