Clare Green Counselling

About

Welcome, my name is Clare.

I am a qualified counsellor based in South Croydon.

I am interested in understanding people and supporting them to know themselves deeper so that they can grow and become more fully alive.

I studied to masters degree level in psychology in my twenties and then began my diploma in Gestalt counselling in 2011. I have 25 years experience of supporting clients individually and in groups to identify their needs, explore their relationships and influence how they experience the world. Typically, I have supported people with their:

anxiety, self-esteem/confidence, loss, shame, depression, relationships, family issues, anger, abuse, domestic violence, trust, guilt, hoarding, loneliness, intimacy, body symptoms

I offer short term and long term support; for life's struggles or for ongoing personal development.

I am a Registered Member of the BACP .


Gestalt counselling is a humanistic therapy recognising an individual's strengths and creativity. By focusing on the 'here and now' experience of the present moment, a freedom from running on 'auto-pilot' can be achieved, allowing something new to be experienced. The aim is to create a non-judgemental self-awareness by focusing on the process of what happens between us.

This is how clients have experienced it:

"I felt relief at being listened to and understood. My friends couldnt really understand the complexity of my situation and it had been a bit of a solitary journey until speaking with Clare".

"She hit the nail on the head with the issues I was dealing with and gave direction for me to face these. She made me feel less of a failure".

"I was feeling quite lost. I am a better version of myself thanks to her understanding, presence, warmth and knowledge".
