Clare Griffiths

I currently offer sessions on Mondays to Thursday from 8.00am, Fridays from 9.00am - 3.00pm.

Please get in touch to ask about current availability. 

Hi, I'm Clare, I am a fully qualified humanistic counsellor and I offer short and long term online and telephone counselling on a 1:1 basis. Every individual is unique, and so are their challenges. I will work collaboratively with you to develop personalised strategies that empower you to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

Where healing begins and personal growth flourishes. I am here to support you on your journey to emotional well-being and self-discovery.

I trained as a Humanistic counsellor and I integrate other models of counselling such as Solution Focussed Brief Therapy (SFBT), Transactional Analysis (TA) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I have experience in long and short term therapy and also Single Session Therapy.

I understand that life's challenges can be overwhelming, and seeking help is a courageous first step. Whether you're navigating through relationship issues, dealing with anxiety or depression, or simply seeking personal growth, I am compassionate and skilled to guide you.

You may feel that it's time for you to talk to someone, to offload in a confidential and impartial space, vent, process thoughts and feelings, or try to find a solution. Whatever you are struggling with and whatever you want to get out of the therapeutic relationship, I am here to help. I do not advise as I believe that you hold the answers to your challenges as you know yourself better than anyone else.

Warmth, empathy, acceptance and no judgement are the principal qualities I embody in my work. I will listen and support you as we discuss together what is causing you distress and explore how you can find change, peace or meaning in your life.

If you are not sure if counselling will help, feel alone and unhappy, feel that you need emotional support and would you like to talk, be heard and understood or would like to explore making some changes, please reach out and we can discuss what would be most helpful for you at this time.

I offer online or telephone counselling sessions, 50-minute sessions usually on Teams for individual adults aged 18 and above. I have some availability to offer in person counselling in Chesterfield, where I am based in my home office, and the surrounding areas, however, this is on a case by case basis.

I offer sessions on 

Mondays to Thursday from 8.00am to 8.00pm

Fridays from 9.00am - 3.00pm.

How does it work?

In the first session, I will introduce myself, explain my confidentiality policy, and then invite you to share what has brought you to therapy and any goals. Towards the end of the session I will explain the type of counselling I offer and we will agree whether we want to continue to work together.

If you decide you would like to continue to work with me, sessions will usually continue on a weekly basis initially, usually on the same day and time each week, as I believe this will give you the best experience of therapy. I suggest we review regularly and we can discuss frequency of sessions. Together we can work out the best way to offer you just the right level of support.

You can have just a few sessions or have open-ended or longer-term therapy. And I can often offer an alternative if you cannot make your usual time or day (if you have one) but don't want to miss a session.
