Gillian Clarke

I am an accredited qualified counsellor and have practiced for over 20 years.   I have a private practice and work with children and young people as well as working for EAP providers.  I have extensive experience of working with children and young people both in and out of the educational setting.  My training and experience enable me to work with all clients in a professional and confidential way.  

I am a Person-Centred practitioner and believe that this offers a safe, non-judgemental and confidential way which provides a safe space where a client can begin to understand who they are and look at what they need to change in order to begin to heal and accept and love who they are.

I am based in Appleton, Cheshire.  I am conveniently located close to junction 9 of the M56 and Junction 10 of the M6 making me accessible for many locations.  I have a cosy and comfortable room that provides and safe and private space where a client can feel supported and relaxed.  

My private practice is situated in a quiet part of Appleton with good parking.  It is very private as I am tucked away from main roads but easy to find.  I am always happy to be contacted to see if you think that I can help you, so why not get in touch?

I like to offer a 30 minute free first meeting.  I feel it is important that you come and meet with and take the opportunity for us both to find out whether we both agree that we can work together.  In the first session I will talk through what to expect from counselling and how it may be of help to you.  We will also talk through the practical issues such as times and frequency of meeting.

A short first session is often enough time to judge whether counselling is for you and that you feel comfortable to work with me.
