Clare | Counsellor

Introduction

I’m Clare, a registered counsellor based in Christchurch.

I created my practice to offer a reflective space away from everyday demands - somewhere the things that often get pushed aside can be given time and care.

Counselling provides a confidential, supportive place to explore what’s happening in your life, whether you’re moving through a difficult period or considering next steps. The focus is on understanding what matters to you and finding a way forward that feels right.

My work is grounded in professional training and lived experience. I hold a Bachelor of Business, a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Studies, and a Bachelor of Counselling. I’m a member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) and engage in ongoing clinical supervision to support safe, ethical practice.

My approach is thoughtful yet practical. Sessions offer space to slow down, make sense of things, and move forward at a pace that suits you.

If you want to know more of make an appointment, feel free to contact me.

Most common issues I support people with:

Untangling Life’s Demands & Mental Heaviness When the "juggle" of daily life, becomes overwhelming, I support you to slow down to untangle the mental load. We work to ease that sense of heaviness and find practical ways to navigate everyday demands.

Identity, Values & Career Change Moving through a career transition or personal shift can leave you feeling untethered. I support you in exploring your core values to ensure your "next steps" align with who you are now, rather than who you used to be.

Grief, Loss & Significant Thresholds Grief isn't just about bereavement; it’s the ending of any familiar chapter. I provide a space to process the pain of loss and the disorientation that comes when you are standing at a major life crossroads.

Navigating the Parenthood Transition From pre-natal anxiety to the post-natal shift in identity, parenthood is a profound liminal space. I offer support for those adjusting to the emotional and practical demands of raising children, while taking care of yourself.

School & Personal Challenges for Youth I work with children and teens who are finding school or social life difficult. Whether it’s stress, friendship issues, or lack of confidence, I provide a safe environment for them to make sense of their world.

Fees

Each session goes for 50 minutes, and is $120.00.

In terms of how many sessions, is up to the individual and your goals.
