FREE HALF HOUR TASTER SESSIONS
It can be a great act of courage to lean into our need for support, to venture to trust someone with our vulnerability, and to invest precious financial resources in it. I offer half hour taster sessions so that you can meet me and get a sense if my way of working will support you to cultivate ways of being and the kind of life you are longing for. If you would like to try this drop me an email or give me a phone. Contact details are here
Perhaps you would like a space, one to one, or as a couple, where you can just be yourself? Where whatever life rises in you is given room to breathe and show itself. Where the life in you is met with compassionate presence and gentleness, and an opportunity to grow capacity to hear others this way?
​
I have a sense of trust that with enough spaciousness and warmth, the life energy held in our longings finds expression and that our life's direction becomes clear from the courage to just allow what arises. As children we just wanted to be met with warmth and understanding. This didn't happen for so many of us.
​
As well as the work of Marshall Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication, My work is also influenced by that of Sarah Peyton, Certified NVC Trainer and Interpersonal Neurobiology Educator. She says:
​
"The latest developments in neuroscience unveil that we have the ability to simultaneously observe ourselves with compassion when at the same time being distraught (scared, anxious, depressed). The ability to be both experience and hold the experience is the key to maintaining inner calm in the face of life's challenges."

My role in these one to one's is to support the translation and transformation of life-alienating thinking into our precious life force which is captured through identifying feelings and needs using the practices and principles of Nonviolent Communication and to support the growth of our compassionate self-witness.

"Fascinating - What an amazing session during which I thought and felt things that I hadn't felt before. Because I felt that Clare allowed me to express my feelings, I was able to stay with the uncomfortable feelings and allow them to be, knowing that I was supported. In the past, when I have had counselling, for instance, I felt that my feelings were to be challenged and changed - that they were in some way 'wrong' and this had never felt good to me. It is a huge relief to be open about my feelings and to not question or justify them - just to allow them to be exactly as they are."
