Hello, I’m Clara (they/them). I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist and Art Psychotherapist in training.
I have experience in the NHS working as a therapist with people with psychosis, personality disorders, depression and PTSD. I have also worked at Spectra with TNBI youth and at Macmillan with people living with cancer. I currently work freelance for the NHS Sussex Gender Service as a Reflective Practice Clinician.
I use Queer Theory, GSRD approaches and Intersectional Feminist Therapy theory to inform my work. I hold a non-judgemental compassionate, Person-centred and Relational approach to working with clients and tailor therapy based on your needs. I am passionate about making therapy accessible and working in an anti-oppressive manner. I use an integrative blend of Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Trauma Informed and Gestalt Approaches.
