Hello and a very warm welcome. I’m Clare, a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with a diploma from Metanoia Institute and a registered member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
There are times when life can feel unbearably heavy. You might be grieving, adjusting to health challenges, struggling with low self-worth, or feeling lost and disconnected from who you are. Therapy can offer a space to gently explore what you’re carrying — and what might be possible.
If we were to work together, I would be wholehearted in my commitment to you — whether you're in distress or seeking deeper self-understanding and a more grounded, authentic way of living.
I’ve worked with people navigating many different forms of emotional pain — from the depths of grief or self-doubt to the quiet confusion of no longer feeling like themselves. In therapy, clients often begin to feel more at ease in their own skin, more able to understand themselves with compassion, and more open to making meaningful changes that feel true to who they are.
Choosing therapy is an investment in your wellbeing, healing, and personal growth. In our sessions, you’ll find a calm, compassionate space to make sense of your experience, reconnect with your own wisdom, and gently move toward the life you want to live.
Fees
My fee is £70 per session.
I do offer some flexibility where finances may otherwise be a barrier to accessing therapy — we can discuss this together during our initial session, if helpful.
Qualifications & Training
I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, trained at the Metanoia Institute in London, where I completed a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I am on track to gain UKCP accreditation as a Person-Centred Psychotherapist in 2026.
My background is in care and the charity sector — experience that continues to shape my relational and empathic approach to therapy.
Alongside private practice, I have worked with clients in two agency settings:
I also hold a BA in Drama, where I researched the therapeutic qualities of drama within community settings — an early exploration of how creativity can support healing. More recently, my MSc research focused on the experience of love in therapists and how love can be a powerful therapeutic factor for change. This deepens my commitment to offering a compassionate, authentic, and relational space where clients can reconnect with themselves and explore their own capacity for growth and self-love.
