\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

I’m Clare, the face of BCS Counselling. I provide a professional therapy service, based in Tonbridge, Kent for adults, young people, children (11+) and couples. Sessions take place in-person, online or via phone.<\/h1>\n

I am also a qualified supervisor providing supervision<\/a> to counsellors and other helping professionals.<\/h2>\n

Have you been experiencing challenges in life and found yourself struggling to know how to get through it? Or do you just feel like you’re missing something? Are you having a hard time with difficult emotions, unhelpful thoughts, harmful behaviours or complicated relationships? Maybe you’re struggling to establish boundaries in relationships or feeling weighed down by anxiety or shame. Perhaps you’ve noticed you’re acting in ways that aren’t true to the person you want to be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you want to make changes, to learn new ways to approach life and relationships, you don’t have to do it all alone. Counselling sessions with me can help you to understand yourself and your situation and how you might have reached this point. I can support you in identifying changes you would like to make and considering the options in front of you. You can find ways to navigate the challenges and move towards freedom and healing.<\/p>\n

I offer a professional, confidential counselling service, providing for you a safe and non-judgmental space where you can share, discover and grow into a fuller life.<\/h2>\n

If you would like to discuss how talking therapy can help you, your relationship or your teen, contact me<\/a> to ask questions, arrange a free 15-minute introductory phone call or a no-obligation initial session.<\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
