Talk Therapy & Brainspotting

‍ ‍

Hi, I'm Clare, a Clinical Psychologist working with clients virtually and in-person in Cambridge.

After over 13 years working with hundreds of clients, one thing has become clear to me: talk therapy helps enormously and yet for some it can only take you so far. You can understand the roots of a problem intellectually, the history, the why, yet stay stuck, replaying the same patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating.

It's what led me to train in Brainspotting; a somatic trauma therapy that works with the deeper emotional centres of the brain and body to release what talking alone can’t always reach.

Today I offer both traditional talk therapy for reflection and understanding, and body-based approaches like Brainspotting for the emotional patterns that live deeper than words. This approach can be particularly helpful for trauma, anxiety, depression and other recurring emotional difficulties.
