A Space for You and Your Journey

Is Counselling or Psychotherapy for you?

I believe that our quality of life is determined, in large part by, the quality of our relationships, and our inner sense of self. Psychotherapy is for people who want to improve or deepen their relationships, with themself and/or others.

Our starting point - our ‘relational blueprint’ - is shaped by factors outside of our control, in the earliest years of our lives. For many of us, these blueprints remain out of our awareness until an aspect of our lives stops working, or we feel a yearning for something more.

You might be suffering because of loss, burnout, body-image issues, depression, defensiveness, anger, shame or emptiness. You might feel otherwise fine, but have a lingering sense or a longing for a life and relationships that feel brighter, richer and more rewarding.

Counselling, psychotherapy and the inner development that is part of the process, can help you understand, and grow beyond, the blueprints you inherited, orienting towards the life that is truly yours to live.

About Clare

I have trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, and somatic and mindful approaches to trauma.

I understand what it’s like to feel stuck in life, and have experienced the life-changing value of my own therapy journey. I am passionate about helping humans fall in love with life, again, or maybe for the first time.

I grew up in Auckland and have lived in Wellington for twelve years.

Work with Clare

The first step is for us to meet. For you to see if it feels good to talk with me; for me to see how the way I work might work for you.

I offer a free 20 minute, exploratory phone call. If you would prefer to have our initial meeting in-person or online, I offer a 50 minute, exploratory session.

After this, sessions are one or more times per week. These can be in-person in my practice room on the Terrace in Wellington - pictured above - online, or by phone.
