Clare Faulkner

Offering a safe and secure private studio/therapy space where you can explore thoughts and feelings not only through the medium of art and creativity, but also through communication in a non judgemental and welcoming environment. My experience and expertise can help to facilitate your journey, however long or short, to understanding, making sense and acceptance of the issues that may be presenting to you. I aim to provide and facilitate a healing and creative space to bring about change, understanding and recovery.

I have over 20 years experience working in several large organisations across health, education and criminal justice. I have worked as a private practitioner since 2013 working with lots of different age groups from all sorts of walks of life - working toward healing and realising acceptance and change.

Qualifying as a state registered Art Psychotherapist (MA) and registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) in 2006 I have gone on to train in further modalities offering an integrated and creative approach to support and facilitate therapy and counselling sessions to individuals, couples and groups.

I have offered individual and couples sessions in private practice since 2013 but have practised as a therapist since 2006 in schools, colleges, the NHS and charities.  

I offer face to face, online and telephone sessions.

Taking the first step is not always easy, it takes courage.  After initial contact I will follow up with a phone call with a view to arranging an initial session to establish whether myself and the service I offer is right for you.

Drawing on my experience and training, I offer a creative, reflective space to make sense of and understand therapeutic processes. 

I have 20 years experience of providing therapy to individuals, couples and groups. I have extensive experience of working with children, young people and adults experiencing mental health issues in a variety of settings, including private practice.  In various settings I have supervised trainees on their placements.

I offer supervision for qualified professionals and trainees. 

I qualified as an Art Psychotherapist (MA) in 2006 and am registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council),  the BACP and The British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT).

I am also an approved BAAT private practitioner. 

I offer face to face, online and telephone sessions.

After initial contact, I will offer an initial meeting to discuss supervisory requirements.
