Clare Crichton

I am a BACP accredited counsellor with over 15 years experience working in various agency settings and -since 2006 -managing my own private practice in Tring.

I am also a supervisor and offer clinical supervision for both trainee and qualified counsellors individually or in groups.

I have extensive experience working with clients presenting with a range of issues including depression, stress and anxiety; loss and bereavement including infant loss; challenges of being in a relationship; adapting to life stages and the challenges arising when relationships break down.

My approach is to work with my clients to empower them to deal more effectively with problems either in the present or linked to the past or anticipated future events which are causing anxiety or concern. By clarifying and exploring problems, I believe greater understanding is gained which can lead to the formulation of plans and the possibility to move forward.

In summary, I endeavour to offer my clients a safe and confidential space and provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship enable them to locate and trust their own inner resources. This is underpinned by offering my clients my curiosity, courage, congruence and compassion.
