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.

I've enriched my training with specialisms in focusing and somatic work, 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 about whatever you want to bring. Whether you're facing specific challenges, feeling overwhelmed by emotions that don't quite make sense, or simply need time to process what's happening in your life, I'm here to listen without judgment.

Together, we can explore what you bring, helping you find clarity and insight, and restoring resilience and confidence in yourself.

A Commitment to Inclusivity

I bring an ongoing commitment to understanding how our backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences shape how we see the world and how the world sees us. I work to develop my awareness of how diversity and systemic inequalities influence our outlook and expectations.

I have completed Layla Saad’s ‘Me and White Supremacy’ 'How to Recognise Your Privilege, Combat Racism and Change the World’ work book with a group and I bring a strong sense of responsibility to continue developing my understanding of how privilege and rank affect our lives.

My aim is to create a respectful, welcoming environment where the complexity of our experience is welcomed.

Where We Can Meet

I offer different working environments for you to try:

• 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 remotely, offering the same professional support from wherever you feel most comfortable

I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me to arrange an initial session or a brief no obligation phone call to find out more on clare.pearl@icloud.com
