"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."


"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."

About me

My compassion for the human experience is the foundation of what I bring to my work. I also have many years of formal university education and almost 20 years experience in the healing profession.


As I’ve witnessed peoples’ growth, I’ve learned to trust the resilience of the human spirit. My job is to empower you to be the best you can be, and I have the tools to uncover and develop those skills within you.


  • EMDR can help integrate and move through past traumas so you can move on with your life in a positive way.
  • EMDR and ThetaHealing® can shift core beliefs that have previously held you back.
  • Other energy work techniques, including mindful awareness of the body & EFT, can bring incredible insight to situations, beliefs and relationships.
  • My toolbox also includes the use of visualisation, art therapy and practical goal setting.


Depending on what you’re experiencing in the moment, I can offer the tools necessary for you to move forward in your life. I am extremely honoured to be in the position of supporting people on very deep and personal levels, and it brings me much joy.


I look forward to hearing from you!

"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!"

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."
