About me and my therapy practice

Hi I'm Clare, thankyou for visiting my profile. I am a person centred integrative counsellor and hypnotherapist based in Liverpool. I am a qualified Walk and Talk Therapist. In addition to this, I am a Clinical Supervisor.

I have lived experience of mental health difficulties and I'm intensely passionate about helping others learn to understand their own experiences of life's ups and downs. Life is hard and for some of us, it is even harder still.

Relationship difficulties, adverse childhood experiences, abuse (past or present), addiction, displacement, poor mental or physical health, feeling burnt out, being bullied or exhausted by the many demands of family, being a parent, work and all the stresses that come with modern life. Issues around identity and sexuality as well as any neurodivergence can make life difficult especially if you don't have positive supporters around you. If you have felt any such issues I can help you.

I have experienced the power of counselling both as a client and counsellor. I pride myself on offering a safe compassionate space where we can explore your difficulties together. You are the expert of your experience. My role is to work collaboratively with you to make sense of experiences and then support you to make any changes if and when you decide to.

We focus so much on our physical wellbeing but forget that we are more than this. No person is just one thing in life. We are so much more. The demands and the impact of experiences can make life really difficult to handle. You may have lost your direction in life or feel that you have never known it. You may know what you are struggling with or you may actually have no idea.

All experiences are very welcome. I know that taking the first step can feel scary. If you feel like we may be a good fit to work together then please reach out and book a free consultation to see how I can help you.

Practice description

Online Counselling  - I work from a secure and private location based in Liverpool, UK.  

I use a secured online video platform.

My first session

I offer a free consultation telephone or video session of 20-30 minutes to allow you to ask me any questions. Prospective clients can use this as a chance to give me a brief overview of the issues you want to address within counselling. This consultation allows me to tell you how I work and its a chance for us both to see if we feel we can work together.

In our first session, I will go through my contract and terms and conditions with you to enable you to be fully aware of the boundaries and limitations of counselling and how I work. Once this part is completed I start by asking you to think about what has brought you to counselling and if you have any set goals in mind that you are seeking to address. At this stage some clients do know what they want as goals but many others do not, so please do not feel intimidated by this. I find often that the first session allows us to talk through what the difficulties are, what you are dealing with and we can agree a way to work forward together. For many clients, counselling offers a safe and private space to begin to explore whatever has been making you feel ill at ease for however long.

Many clients say that they feel that their issues or problems are not serious enough or not as bad as other people's difficulties and they describe worry over wasting my time. My experience is that my time is never wasted with any client. If we work together, my time is your time for the period you wish to work with me.

I offer short term fixed sessions and long-term open ended sessions so our sessions will be what suits your need. When we meet we can discuss this. You can also always change this too, if when working together you feel you want to. I am always led by you. I usually ask that we contract for four sessions in the first instance where we will then review how our work is going and whether you wish to continue to work with me or whether you wish to withdraw. You can withdraw at any time for any reason.
