Welcome to You & I Counselling
Sometimes, life just feels a bit too much. Maybe you're tired from holding it all together, from masking who you are, or from carrying emotions that feel too big to name. Maybe you can't quite explain it, it's just a sense that something doesn't feel quite right. Whatever it is, you don't have to name it all right now, and you don't have to face it alone.
At You & I Counselling, I offer a warm, accepting space for young people and adults, online or by telephone. Together, we can gently explore what's going on for you, find your voice, feel heard and be supported.
There's no pressure. No judgement. Just kindness, acceptance and space for you to be you.
About Me
Hi, I'm Clare, a qualified therapeutic counsellor, and proud mum to two neurodivergent adult sons.
Being neurodivergent myself, I know what it's like to navigate a world that isn't always built with us in mind. That's why I'm committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where you don't have to mask or explain every part of yourself just to be understood.
Alongside my counselling work, I bring over a decade of experience as a therapeutic foster carer. This has given me a deep understanding of adverse childhood experiences, attachment issues, anxiety, and neurodevelopmental conditions.
I work from an inclusive, person-centred therapeutic model, supporting individuals on their mental health journey, with warmth, understanding, and respect. My approach is gentle, affirming, and tailored to your unique needs.
No matter where you are on your journey, you don't have to navigate it alone. If you're curious about counselling, I'd be happy to talk things through in a free phone consultation. No expectations, no pressure. Just space to see if it feels right for you. If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here.
You're in Safe Hands
As a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor, I'm committed to offering a safe, ethical, and professional service you can trust. Alongside my therapeutic counselling diploma, I've completed over 80 additional hours of specialist training in providing online and telephone therapy, ensuring remote sessions feel just as connected, secure, and supportive.
I hold:
✔️ An Enhanced DBS certification
✔️ Full Professional Indemnity Insurance
✔️ Membership with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)
You're in trusted, compassionate hands, with someone who truly cares.
If you'd like to see proof of any qualifications or credentials, I'll gladly provide them upon request.
