COUNSELLORS/PSYCHOTHERAPISTS
We are all qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, and registered members of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP) and/or the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
Clare Harland
Clare supports people to navigate uncertainties and upheavals in their lives, reflect on emotions, behaviours and relational patterns that may be causing them difficulty, and explore ways forward. She has experience working with issues including bereavement and loss, stress, low mood, relationship problems, identity and life changes.
Her training is integrative, so she draws on a variety of approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic and attachment-based therapies, and tailors her response to each client’s individual needs. Her priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where people feel accepted and listened to with warmth and respect, and where challenging thoughts and feelings can be unpacked. This process may include exploring together how experiences and patterns from the past are affecting a client's life in the present, while also maintaining a focus on current concerns.
In addition to private practice, Clare has previously worked as a volunteer counsellor for a GP practice and a charity supporting families with young children. She is a trustee of MumsAid, a maternal mental health charity, and her interests include supporting parent carers and families who have experienced the particular challenges associated with having a baby or child who is very unwell, including those who have spent time in neonatal or paediatric care, and adults who may have been through these experiences themselves in early life.
Training and qualifications
Clare is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP, registration no. 179887) and abides by its Ethical Framework.

Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy (accredited by Middlesex University)
She originally studied history, gaining a BA (Hons) and MSc from the University of Oxford, and has always had an interest in how the contexts we live in, and the narratives we inherit, inform our experience.

Penny Jones
Penny is a relational psychotherapist, supporting adults who are finding life overwhelming and hard to navigate for a wide variety of reasons. She has worked with people suffering from anxiety and depression; living with addiction; battling OCD or eating disorders; experiencing difficulty in a relationship or at work; overwhelmed by feelings of loss following a bereavement; or struggling with a loss of meaning in life. She understands that it is also possible not to know why you are finding life tough - sometimes something just doesn’t feel right. Penny works alongside clients to explore the right way to approach whatever they are facing, whilst offering a solid, containing place of support.
As an integrative, relational psychotherapist, Penny was trained in a number of therapeutic approaches. This enables her to consider various perspectives on any presenting issue; she does not believe that there is just one answer to any problem and will not impose solutions but instead will help people rediscover or develop new resources, and change behaviours that may have become unhelpful.
Penny is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP membership no. 00926746), and follows their code of conduct and ethics in her work.
Training and qualifications
Foundation Certificate
Diploma in Integrative Counselling (BACP accredited; validated by Middlesex University)

In addition to her core training, Penny has specialist training in death and bereavement.
