Clare Crichton

I am a BACP accredited counsellor with over 15 years experience working in various agency settings and - since 2006 - managing my own private counselling practice in Tring. I am also a supervisor and offer clinical supervision for both trainee and qualified counsellors individually or in groups.

I work integratively with individuals - both young people and adults - and couples and I offer both short term or open ended counselling depending on client need and circumstance. 

I have extensive experience working with clients presenting with a range of issues and challenges. My approach is to work with my clients to empower them to deal more effectively with problems either in the present or linked to the past or anticipated future events which are causing anxiety or worry. By clarifying and exploring problems, I believe greater understanding is gained which can lead to the formulation of plans and the possibility to move forward.

In summary, I endeavour to offer my clients a safe and confidential space and provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship to enable my clients to locate and trust their own inner resources. This is underpinned by offering my clients my curiosity, congruence and compassion.

I  have comprehensive indemnity insurance and current DBS certificates for working with adults and young people.

My consulting room is in Tring and within easy reach of outlying villages, Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Chesham, Amersham and Aylesbury. Parking is available.
