This is a small-group therapeutic experience designed for connection, deep exploration, incorporating powerful creativity and mindfulness techniques and emotional expression, grounded in psychotherapeutic theory:

Letting Go with EFT: Learn and apply EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) for powerful and gentle letting go of what no longer serves you.
Meditation and Visualisation: Engage in relaxing meditation and visualisation exercises to cultivate inner peace, clarify your intentions, and embed your new, positive direction.

Vision Board Creation: You will be supported in creating a powerful and meaningful vision board, using a mix of creative media.

Goal Setting: We will focus on translating your vision into realistic and attainable goals, ensuring you leave feeling grounded and motivated for the year ahead.

It's been over a year since I moved from the Sudbury practice, and I’m grateful for how the new space has unfolded. The practice feels calm, therapeutic and a grounding experience, surrounded by such tranquil countryside.

The small room is my space for adults, supervision, and reflective work.
The larger room holds sessions with children, therapeutic art, group work, retreat groups, and training.

I’m noticing I’m more relaxed and happier, and I’m sure this energy comes through to my clients.💛🩵

Back to School: A Friendly Check-In from Clare

Heading back into the new term can bring a mix of excitement and nerves for children (and for us grown-ups, too!). It’s totally normal to worry about changes in routine, fitting in with classmates, exams, and being apart from you for the day. If your child is feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone—these feelings are valid and workable with a bit of support.

I’m here to offer a safe space where your child can share what’s on their mind, and together we can find ways to help them feel calmer and more in control. We’ll focus on simple routines that feel reassuring, easy strategies to manage anxiety before and after school, and ways to keep the family connected during these transitions.

I can also offer support for more complex issues, including severe anxiety, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA) , and deeper underlying concerns or trauma.

If your child is struggling, please reach out. I’m here to help your family start the term with warmth and confidence.

Good Luck to all those collecting GCSE results today.🍀🤞

13/08/2025

Wishing all the young people I work with good luck with todays A Level results. I have everything crossed for you. Remember: your academia does not define you, and there are always choices. Please don’t be too disappointed if the results aren’t what you hoped for—you got through it, well done, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself.

Rebuilding and Navigating Family Relationships with Clare Counselling

Not all families have close or easy relationships. Some may feel disconnected, strained, or challenging to navigate. Whether it's sibling dynamics, mother-child, or father-child relationships, it’s important to remember that connections can be rebuilt at any time — it’s never too late to seek understanding, healing, and growth.

Part of this process involves establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries. Boundaries help create respectful, supportive relationships and protect your well-being. Together, we can explore how to set and uphold these boundaries in a way that fosters healthier interactions.

At Clare Counselling, I offer a supportive space to explore these complex relationships. We can work towards strengthening bonds where possible, and also address situations where managing a healthy ending is the best way forward. Not all relationships can or should be saved, and I am here to support you through those decisions with compassion and clarity.

If you'd like more information or to book an appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact me. You're not alone — help is available.
