Clare Davies

Hi, I'm Clare. I specialise in supporting professionals and businesses with the pressures of working life. Whether you are navigating workplace stress, burnout, redundancy, career change, difficult working relationships or the demands of leadership, I offer a confidential space to step back, make sense of what's happening and move forward with clarity. I bring both lived and professional experience of the workplace, so I understand the realities behind the job title. You are at the heart of this process, and I aim to genuinely understand your perspective so we can work together towards the future you want. I offer an initial, free, exploratory online meeting before you decide to start sessions.

My practice is grounded in the person-centred approach, drawing on other supportive therapies where helpful, and is tailored to the needs of working professionals. I offer discreet, flexible therapy that fits around demanding schedules, including online and in-person sessions, and I work with individuals as well as with organisations who want to support the wellbeing of their people. Common themes in my work include stress and burnout, anxiety around performance, imposter feelings, managing conflict, redundancy and career transitions, and the challenge of balancing work with life outside it.

The counselling relationship is central, and it's vital that trust and connection are established. I offer a professional yet empathetic and non-judgemental space, with authenticity and integrity, to promote growth and change within a safe, confidential setting.

The first step can be hard, particularly when you're used to being the one others rely on. That's why I offer an initial no-obligation 30-minute online consultation to talk through any questions you may have, about how I work, confidentiality, or fitting sessions around your working day. It's an opportunity to discuss how we might work together, with no pressure to commit. For organisations, this initial conversation can also explore how counselling support might work for your employees.
