Clare Tucker

Counsellor and Psychotherapist

I qualified as a counsellor and psychotherapist in 2015 and have since been awarded professional accreditation status by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk). In my experience therapy can have a profound impact on our understanding of ourselves, the relationship we have with our self and, by extension, the relationships we have with other people.

 

My Approach

People come to therapy for many reasons; you may be feeling low or worried about something in your life, there may be a specific issue or decision you wish to explore, a life event which has impacted you, or an ongoing conflict you wish to resolve. Whatever your reason for getting in touch, my aim is to provide every client with a safe, supportive and confidential space to explore, make sense of, and process whatever has been going on in your life.

 

Who Can I Help?

Over a number of sessions (which varies depending on your needs) the aim is that together we will help you to gain insight and understanding about your personal situation and to explore whether there are any positive changes you could make moving forwards. I come from a psychodynamic training, which means that I often work with clients by exploring:-

  • the impact of early life and childhood
  • potential conflict between different feelings and different parts of yourself
  • uncovering ‘defence mechanisms’ which can be used to avoid painful feelings and experiences
  • feelings and patterns in relationships with others, including within the therapeutic relationship (www.counselling-directory.org.uk)

If you are interested in starting therapy with me then please get in touch and I will be happy to arrange an initial telephone call to speak with you.
