ABOUT CLARE
I’m Clare Barrett, dedicated Psychotherapist, Arts Therapist, & Clinical Supervisor. I work online to support you with a timely response. I have over 20 years of experience in therapy and well being. My background spans diverse settings, including education, community services, and mental health.
With a career spanning several decades across the corporate sector and not-for-profit organisations, I bring a wealth of experience, insight, and compassion to my work as a psychotherapist, art therapist, and clinical supervisor. My journey into counselling was shaped by a deep desire to support people through life’s challenges, drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience. I understand the complexities of balancing career, family, and personal growth, and I bring this understanding into every session, creating a space that is both practical and deeply supportive.
As a mother and experienced professional, I know that life is rarely straightforward, and sometimes we all need a space to pause, reflect, and realign. My approach is grounded in kindness, integrity, and respect, ensuring that each client—whether an adolescent, adult, or fellow therapist—feels heard, valued, and empowered. Whether you are seeking support for personal challenges or professional development, my goal is to help you navigate your journey with confidence and clarity.
MAKING AN IMPACT
For me, making an impact isn’t just about providing therapy—it’s about walking alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges. Whether I’m supporting an adolescent through a difficult time or helping an adult untangle long-held patterns, I believe in the power of a safe and understanding space to foster real change. Every session is an opportunity to help someone feel seen, heard, and empowered to take the next step forward.
Beyond my work with clients, I’m deeply passionate about clinical supervision, guiding other therapists as they refine their practice and grow in their confidence. The ripple effect of this work—helping both clients and fellow professionals—reinforces why I do what I do. Change happens in small, meaningful moments, and I feel privileged to be part of that journey.
COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s not always easy to navigate challenges alone. My counselling and psychotherapy services offer a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Whether you're facing anxiety, stress, grief, or life transitions, we’ll work together to understand what’s holding you back and develop strategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about discovering them at your own pace, with the right support. I tailor each session to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches to help you build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful change. No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to go through it alone.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION & LEADERSHIP FOR COUNSELLORS
Supporting others in their therapeutic journey is deeply rewarding, but it also comes with challenges. My clinical supervision and leadership training provide counsellors with a reflective, supportive space to strengthen their practice, build confidence, and navigate complex client work with clarity and ethical integrity. Whether you're newly qualified or an experienced practitioner, supervision offers valuable insights, guidance, and professional growth.
Beyond supervision, I’m passionate about helping counsellors step into leadership roles, refine their skills, and cultivate a sustainable, fulfilling career. My approach is collaborative and tailored, ensuring you feel empowered not just in your client work, but in your professional development as a whole. Together, we’ll create a space for growth, learning, and meaningful impact.

My approach is open, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs—there’s no pressure, just a safe space to explore what feels right for you.
