Claire Rule

Hi, my name is Claire.  

I believe that we all have the ability to become aware of the patterns of behaviour we become stuck in.  It is this awareness that brings us choice.  The choice to continue on the same path, choose to try a different one or to simply stand back, pause and take stock of what may lie ahead.

I hope to offer you a safe space to explore these choices, analyse your options and feel supported in the decisions you will ultimately make in the end.  Time to give you a chance to think about what it is that you really want.

I am a person centre counsellor with knowledge of other ideas and theories present in the counselling world.  I hope I can use this knowledge to help us find the right way to work together.

I am a person centre counsellor, meaning that the session pace will be led by you and your needs.  This doesn't mean I will just nod, listen and smile.  My intention is that together we can challenge those ideas and beliefs that have been keeping you stuck or frustrated in order for you to move forwards in a mentally healthier frame of mind.

Building a trusting and honest relationship is at the forefront of my practice and I believe that within the right environment, awareness and acceptance of oneself are possible.

I am not going to offer you solutions or answers, the time we spend together is for you to learn to trust yourself and your inner voice.  Quieten those loud, critical opinions about what is best for you so that you can hear the kinder, more caring thoughts that will help you find a calmer, more accepting way of being.

I offer a 10 minute free chat before we start our sessions, for you to ask me any questions in order to help you decide if you feel we could work together.

If you decide to go ahead, we will arrange a time and day that suits for our first session and go from there.
