Clare Mackay

I am available remotely online via zoom or telephone counseling. 

I also offer therapy in nature. If you would like more information on this type of in-person/in-nature form of therapeutic work please email claretherapies@gmail.com for further details and pricing.

What has happened in your heart today? So often we are asked about our work day or home life but rarely are we asked about the true nature of the intimate desires and longings that quietly consume our hearts. This is why it's one of my favourite questions to ask a client... and it's a beautiful place for us to begin.

I believe we are undergoing radical shifts in the way we connect, relate and build healthy conditions for growth in our modern lives. My clinical work reflects this by providing support at the leading edge of our rapidly changing relationship paradigms. My work is informed by the distinct and unique qualities of the masculine and feminine heart. I believe at the spiritual and emotional levels people are seeking a deeper understanding of the psychology of Love and how to move towards wholeness and authenticity in our most important relationships and connections.

My background and training is in the Person-Centred Approach and I have many years of clinical practice as a Trauma Therapist providing trauma-informed counselling for survivors of abuse trauma and complex childhood trauma.

If the spiritual aspect of your life is an emerging or important part of your therapeutic journey we can work to include and explore this dimension of your life. I can offer general Christian and Faith based counselling and spiritual direction if you specifically require this as part of your counselling journey. 

Regardless of what brings you to our therapeutic work we will always aim to honour and empower your most authentic self to live a more satisfying life, aligned with your specific values and needs.

More broadly I like to work creatively and collaboratively with my clients to deliver a therapeutic process that reflects your full potential, delivering a therapeutic process unique to you.

I work within a psycho-spiritual framework, bringing compassionate curiosity to our work in an open-hearted, intuitive, and empathic way. Each session together will provide a non-judgement space to attain deeper self-inquiry and integrated insights revealing a therapeutic process unique to your personal transformational journey.

Our initial session provides an opportunity for both of us to explore your needs and expectations and gives an open, warm and unconditional space to bring any questions or curiosities you might have about your current challenges and what working together might look like for us.

I am available remotely online via zoom and telephone counseling. 

I also therapy in nature. If you would like more info on this form of in-person/in-nature form of therapy please let me know on our discovery call.

As a Yoga & Meditation teacher, I can provide the option to include targeted yogic/meditation practices within the scope of our work.

I bring specific and targeted support for those experiencing relational/marital/spousal/partnership challenges. In our current climate relationship dynamics to self and others are emerging at the core of many of our deepest struggles.

As humans we are undergoing radical shifts in the way we connect and relate in terms of building healthy conditions for growth and support in our friendships, families and romantic connections. My clinical work reflects this by providing support at the leading edge of our rapidly changing relationship paradigms. My work is informed by depth psychology and the influence of masculine and feminine energies within our most important relationships and connections.
