Annabelle Clarke

In-person sessions where available will take place in a central location in  Brighton

Hello, I'm Annabelle. I am a qualified integrative counsellor. This means I can draw on a range of psychological approaches and tailor my approach to suit your needs as they evolve, whether you need someone to sit with you in your pain, enable you to find acceptance, explore changes or conflicts in your sense of self, heal wounds from the past or make positive changes for the future.

I have ten years' experience in the NHS working psychotherapeutically with clients with depression, anxiety and physical health challenges.

I offer a calm, warm, confidential and non-judgmental space, a chance to feel heard and supported, to pause and think about you, and what you need,  process your thoughts and feelings, make sense of your experience, develop new perspectives and greater self awareness. I will seek to understand your experience with empathy and compassion. 

We may work together to identify and explore how certain patterns may have developed as a result of your past experiences, notice things that you tend to do which are keeping you stuck, explore possible motivations for continuing to do them and perhaps experiment with doing something different, and enable you to find effective ways of coping and a rich and meaningful life.

I have experience of helping people with a wide range of issues including

Anxiety

Depression

Stress

Shame

Bereavement and loss

Relationship or family issues

Health challenges

Identity including sexual identity

Trauma

Change and transition.

We may explore how the past has affected you, how it continues to influence how you respond to situations occurring in the here and now, how our thoughts and behaviours influence how we feel,  identify helpful ways of managing and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings and how you can live a fuller and more meaningful life. 

Our first session is an opportunity for you to meet me and get a feeling for whether you will feel comfortable talking to me, answer any questions you may have, discuss what has brought you to therapy, identify your needs and goals and whether I am the right therapist for you. I offer an initial online or phone consultation for a reduced fee of £20

As an integrative counsellor the main modalities which form the foundation of my approach are person-centred, cognitive-behavioural including compassion-focused, psychodynamic and relational but I may also draw on other approaches including mindfulness to support you as a unique individual according to your needs.
