Clarity Counselling Services

At Clarity Counselling I offer integrative counselling and psychotherapy to people aged 16 years and older. This means that I combine several different approaches so that each session is tailored to your needs. I work with many issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress and relationships, as well as generally working out how to move towards a more peaceful life. I have encountered a wide variety of client issues and prioritise valuing who you truly are so that we can collaborate in our work together and discover the best path forward for you. 

​

Sessions are typically held on a weekly basis to provide consistency and momentum in your counselling journey. However, the pace of our work is always tailored how you are feeling on the day, and we will continue working together for as long as you feel it is helpful.

​

I understand that life can be busy, so I will always do my best to accommodate your availability. I believe that therapy should feel like a supportive part of your routine, not an added stress, which is why we’ll aim to find session times that work comfortably for you.

 

If your schedule changes or you need more flexibility, we can discuss adjustments to ensure sessions remain accessible and convenient.

Therapeutic Approach

I primarily offer person-centred counselling, while also drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) where it may suit your needs.

​

Person-centred counselling places you at the heart of our work together. Rather than telling you what I think is best, I will support you in discovering what feels right for you. I see you as the expert in your own life and will always listen with empathy, care, and without judgment. By reflecting back the emotions I sense from you, we can unpack your emotional experiences to help you connect with your needs and move forward in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and true to you.

​

IFS differs from normal talking therapy as it involves exercises where you close your eyes and encounter different parts within your internal system. I have found that person-centred counselling illuminates your experiences, feelings and needs while IFS provides the deeper healing that allows you to move forward from these. IFS can feel active and productive, whereas person-centred counselling can feel open and exploratory. Both approaches provide a deep sense of validation and understanding within yourself. 

​

CBT, on the other hand, takes a more structured approach, focusing on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It involves working together to identify unhelpful patterns and introduce strategies to challenge and reshape them. CBT can feel quite structured and goal-oriented, with processes and tools that help you address specific challenges.

 

I integrate these approaches thoughtfully, tailoring our work to you and your unique journey. Whether we openly explore or incorporate practical strategies, the goal is always to work in a way that feels right for you.
