My Approach
With over twelve years experience as a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer a friendly, compassionate and intuitive approach where you can explore your concerns. My practice is grounded in the person-centred approach, which means our sessions are guided by your needs and pace, and support you in finding your own solutions.
Over the years I have had additional training in related specialisms, including focusing and somatic work, polyvagal theory, wild therapy, shamanic practices, and clinical supervision. This allows me to draw on a diverse range of skills that can support different aspects of your wellbeing.
What Counselling Offers
Counselling provides a confidential space where you can speak freely and explore your concerns. You might be facing specific challenges, feeling overwhelmed by emotions that don't make sense, or want to give some time to process what's going on in your life.
Working collaboratively we can explore what you bring, helping you find clarity and insight, and develop more resilience and confidence in yourself.
A Commitment to Inclusivity
I bring an ongoing commitment to understanding how our backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences influence how we see the world and how others sees us, and, how systemic inequalities influence our outlook and expectations.
As part of a group, I have worked through Layla Saad’s ‘Me and White Supremacy - How to Recognise Your Privilege, Combat Racism and Change the World’ which has supported my aim to create a respectful environment where the complexity of our experience is welcomed.
Where We Can Meet
Some options:
Garden therapy room - A peaceful, private garden space, near Todmorden
Outdoor sessions - We can meet in nature at a location we choose together, if you feel drawn to working outdoors
Online or telephone - Fully qualified to provide therapy via Teams or Zoom.
I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me to arrange an initial session or a brief phone call to find out more on clare.pearl@icloud.com
