Clare Walker Psychotherapist

Clare is a counsellor and psychotherapist who specialises in working with individuals and couples across a full range of relationship issues. She holds a Masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy and is trained in number of different therapeutic practices including, Psychodynamic, Attachment, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Existential and Gestalt. Utilising a mix of approaches and appreciating the uniqueness of each client’s experiences and issues, Clare helps couples and individuals to explore the issues that are affecting their relationship(s) and how past experiences may be shaping current behaviour. Clare believes that developing self-awareness and implementing strategies for change enables a person to reshape how they think, feel and respond to situations in a way that is more congruent with who they are. Clare appreciates that counselling can be a daunting experience for many couples and understands the need to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for clients to work through problems. Clare is also passionate about supporting individuals who may, as a result of negative childhood experiences, find it difficult to start and/or maintain intimate relationships. As part of her training, Clare was required to undergo her own extensive therapy and believes this helps her to bring understanding, compassion (and sometimes humour!) to her client relationships.
