"I have been a client of Clare's for nearly a year and have so appreciated her ability to blend compassion, intuition, and practicality, as well as her sense of humour. I very much appreciate that she provides practical tools to use outside of the sessions, and she went far above and beyond to understand something I was going through. If you are looking for someone both compassionate and grounded I can't recommend Clare enough."
About me
I offer grounded, energetic psychotherapy for people looking for real change and compassionate support. With a Master’s degree in Counselling and two decades of experience across the UK, USA, and Canada, I bring a calm, intuitive and deeply attuned presence to the work.
My approach blends traditional therapeutic training with mind-body and EMDR techniques, helping clients move through pain, understand themselves more fully, and create lasting shifts in their lives.
It’s a privilege to walk alongside people as they heal and grow. If you’re ready for support, I’m here to help.
"Clare has been amazing. She brought me back from the brink of despair with her caring words and advanced techniques. Our sessions felt like she had fast forwarded me through, without having to do 20 years of trauma talk therapy. She is a professional who is lovely, gracious, kind, knowledgeable and provides a safe space. I don't know where I would be without her counselling. Thank you Clare!"
"I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from Clare. She is truly exceptional—kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in my well-being. I always felt heard and supported in every session, which made a significant difference in my healing journey. Clare's suggestions and approach to dealing with my trauma, especially through EMDR treatment, were invaluable. I found the process to be incredibly helpful and transformative. During one of the most challenging times in my life, she guided me with compassion and expertise, helping me navigate through my challenges. Thanks to her unwavering support, I have emerged from this experience feeling whole, confident, and empowered."
What I offer
When we are truly heard, we can heal. The presence of a therapist in the face of difficulty can make all the difference in how one is able to move through something challenging.
With the absence of ‘The Village’ we expect ourselves to go through things alone – way too often! I can offer to walk alongside your difficulties and support your nervous system in coping better with adversity, relaxing into acceptance, or coming up with unique ways in which to problem solve.
I see my role as empowering you as a client to know what’s best for you.
"Clare has been such a wonderful support to me as I am learning to navigate life as a new mother, and find my identity in this life changing role! She has listened without judgement, and provided me with perspective, guidance and direction in a caring, nurturing and respectful way. I look forward to my time with her, when I can slow down and acknowledge what I am feeling, while she holds and provides a space for me to reconnect, and feel more grounded. She has helped me to move forward, and onward with more confidence and positivity."
