Working with Clara was an absolute delight, she is a very intelligent person and helped me see things from a different perspective, I'd recommend her to anyone searching for help of any kind, she's very easy to get on with but very professional 10/10 service!

In the short time that I worked with Clara I began thinking in a way that I had never looked at before I spoke with her.
I started looking for someone to talk to during lockdown as I found it difficult to keep level headed within relationships with people, and felt really lost within my career.
After speaking with Clara I feel in a much happier place and have taken steps in my career which I had never done before, as well as having better relationships with the people around me.
Clara really takes the time to listen and consider what you’re saying, looking at the world through my eyes and then giving me the right guidance to change.
Thank you so much Clara.

I find it hard to put into words how Clara has helped me. She has done so much to help me combat my OCD and anxieties. Life before Clara was very dark, but life now, after having worked with Clara, is very different. Before Clara, life was a chore, unenjoyable and my head was full of noise and negativity. But now, my head is clear and speaks to me kindly and positively. Clara has helped me to focus and live in the present again, when all I could do before was worry about the uncontrollable past and future. She has taught me invaluable mindfulness and grounding techniques, which I use every single day. Yes, I still have days where I struggle with my OCD and anxieties, but Clara has given me the tools to fight against these issues and deal with them more effectively than I ever did before, and to most importantly be kind to myself. I think this is the most valuable lesson Clara has taught me; to love myself and be kind to myself. She has changed the way I view life; I enjoy it again and am able to take pleasure in the little things, such as the birds singing, and to just enjoy being in the moment, whether that is with family or friends, when out walking, or in my own company. She has really taught me how to just be present in the moment. Clara is a truly remarkable and patient woman and I will forever be thankful to her for helping me to find myself again, at a time when I was close to giving up and accepting that there was no solution to my problems. But I am so glad I gave Clara a chance. Clara was the help and voice I needed. She has helped me to change my life, focus on the present and to find true happiness again. I am forever grateful to have found such an inspirational woman who has truly guided me into changing my life for the better. Thank you Clara ???? More...

I started working with Clara over 6 months ago to help with Depression and anxiety.
Today i am at a completely different place, a place I don't believe I would be at if it wasn't for the help I have received from her.
She has helped me change my mindset and the way I view the world around me enabling my anxiety to be less of an issue.
In the last 6 months I have began driving again, started to see friends and do things that I havn't done in a while and even started up my own business.
I found Clara, friendly, approachable and easy to work with.
I would highly recommend her.

I would highly recommend 'Make that difference'. I was having a tough time and struggling to see anything positively, often feeling overwhelmed by everything. Clara helped me. Not by fixing things for me, but by giving me new ways to see the world that enabled me to make different choices with better outcomes. With Clara's guidance, I was able to identify the kind of life I wanted to have before beginning a journey towards having it. I'm still on that journey, but thanks to Clara and 'Make that difference', I know I will get to live the life I always wanted. Thank you More...

Took my daughter to see Clara as she was suffering from depression and anxiety. After a few sessions I began rmto see a big change. My daughter enjoyed the tasks she was asked to complete and they have helped her greatly with her social interaction and has developed a great deal of confidence. I cannot say thank you enough.

Working with Clara has been truly life changing. I was lucky enough to find her when I was in a really difficult spot in my life, career and relationship.
She was kind and patient with me throughout it all. Clara is gentle when needed, yet able to push me when needed too. She gave me a multitude of tools to use for whatever life threw at me. The value she has brought with me over the past 6 months will be invaluable and last a lifetime.
I really loved how she managed our sessions. She helped me take a personal inventory of the status of my life, set goals with me and always referred back to them. It was really reassuring that I never felt like she wanted to see me forever and keep the payments coming in. I had goals and she helped me reach them.

Clara is brilliant, caring, very compassionate and easy to talk to.
I came to Clara completely unfocused on my goals and not quite knowing what I truly wanted out of life.
Clara has truly helped me set goals, work towards them and to believe in myself beyond what I ever used to think was possible.
I've personally recommended Clara to other people, I've never felt better about myself or more sure of my direction in life. I highly recommend working with Clara she's absolutely wonderful.

What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing people become themselves, understand themselves, become in tune with themselves so that they can be ever better versions of themselves - becoming, healthier, happier and more effective in the process.
Nothing beats seeing people become free, energised, hopeful, confident and at peace.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I set up my own business because after many years of working in the NHS, I could see that the NHS did not deliver prevention and absolutely did not enable me to assist people as they need. I could see that our systems of society actually limit people rather than enable people to achieve their potential, which is unlimited - this in turn creates many of the problems of poor mental and physical health, anger, and waste, thus contributing hugely to the global issues we face today. By helping people one by one, I help people to live their own lives more confidently, happily, healthily and effectively and they in turn make their difference in their own world and beyond.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because they want to make a difference in their lives and if they are committed to doing so, with me they certainly will.
Integral Eye Movement Therapy
IEMT is a remarkably swift technique which can work very effectively with individuals who find themselves trapped by negative thinking, emotion, fear, anxiety or trauma.
There are many remarkable aspects of this technique:-
- you do not need to spend months in therapy
- you do not need to spend multiples of sessions going over painful and traumatic experiences
- if you really want to change, IEMT is very likely to make a difference
- very often 2-4 sessions is enough
Stress management
Using a variety of techniques, clients learn techniques that help them to manage and reduce their stress responses.
The techniques most frequently used are IEMT, metaphors of movement to disentangle negative fixed beliefs and support to learn new resourceful behaviours which enable clients to become confident, able to manage themselves, their time and to refocus. Clients will find that they have a better understanding of themselves and the triggers that can limit them, and build new resourceful behaviours.
ADHD, Dyslexia, ASD - support
I have been working with many clients who have a range of ND diagnoses over the past four years. Most frequently clients have never learned ways of self-management that are appropriate for them and as a result suffer with lack of confidence, stress, anxiety, depression which can affect all aspects of their lives. We are all different to varying degrees but unfortunately the focus has typically been through education and work that individuals should 'fit in' to some inaccurate expectation of 'normality' which is extremely limiting. Learning to recognise your strengths and to work with them, learning to manage yourself in ways that support you to become, confident, effective, healthy - can help you to improve many aspects of your life and to achieve more than you had felt possible.
Chronic Disease Management
Work with clients who have MS, Fibromyalgia, painful autoimmune conditions, severe headaches - throughout my career. Today, it is frequently the case that individuals with chronic disease receive very little support to manage their self-perception, or living and working with their condition - this results in increasing levels of stress, poorer health increasing absence from work with often deteriorating relationships at home and at work. Working with clients with these types of conditions can help them to take a step back, and learn to manage themselves better improving their self-belief, their sense of possibility, their confidence, improving mood and even improving their health. Nb. when anyone has a chronic disease, it is likely to always be with them, but it can be much better managed and less problematic.
Depression, low mood
Using IEMT, Metaphors of Movement, clients become aware of the traps of their patterns of thinking and learn new ways to build new resourceful habits which will sustain them.
