Dr Clare Drea
Clinical Psychologist|Somatic therapies
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship difficulties and performance pressure. My approach combines psychological understanding with attention to emotional and bodily experience.
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 can be enormously helpful, yet sometimes understanding isn't enough to create change.
You can understand the roots of a problem; the history, the patterns, the why and still find yourself caught in the same ways of thinking, feeling and relating.
My approach brings together psychological understanding with attention to emotional and bodily experience. Alongside talk therapy, I draw on somatic approaches such as Brainspotting and IFS-informed work where appropriate, depending on what feels most useful for the individual.
“Clare has been a critical part of my healing journey back to self. Clare is the most amazing therapist in so many ways. She is the most attentive listener and has so much empathy. She makes you feel seen and heard. Now, I feel like I have a life that I look forward to and freedom to be who I was meant to be, rather than living in a state of fear all the time. I will always be grateful to Clare for her help, guidance and support.”
