Maybe …
  • things have being going wrong for a while, you’re feeling drained, disinterested, more anxious, generally low ... maybe even depressed or angry
  • how you’re feeling has started affecting your relationships, even your sex life. People are saying you’re more irritable … and deep down you know they’re right. The people who care are worried ... but you can't reassure them because you're not sure what's wrong either
  • your health has been deteriorating for a while, but you’re unhappy with the doctor’s solution, to prescribe some combination of anti-depressants or painkillers. It feels like no one’s listening ... you want to be pain-free
  • you don't know who you are anymore, where you fit in a rapidly changing world ... you want the best version of 'you' and your life ... but something's holding you back and it's unbearable ... it feels like no-one understands
or maybe…
  • you’re a good partner, parent, or friend …  good at your job, or running your own business … a good man … a man who has untapped potential, goals and dreams still waiting to be realised
  • somewhere along the way, while you were being a fabulous part of someone else’s life something changed … maybe you lost sight of ‘you’
  • you want to be the man you were meant to be, to rediscover your purpose, feel fulfilled and serve the people who are important to you
If any of this sounds like you, you’re not alone … and you’re in the right place to start having things a different way … a way that’s re-prioritised and realigned.

What’s in it for you…
I understand that men who want better lives are looking for results, often with a specific outcome in mind. Some of the benefits of working with me are…
  • greater self-confidence to go after what you want, through increased awareness, self –acceptance, and embracing the impact you have on others and your outside world
  • better relationships, by understanding your own and other people’s behaviour through improved communication, listening and empathy, you’ll be able to get your needs met in a healthy way and deal with relationships that are not working
  • a more balanced life, being more effective, increased self-assurance, assertively asking for what you want, leading during times of change if that’s important to you
  • final resolution of past issues, maybe the time is right to let go of grief and loss of a significant person, situation or ‘what might have been’

Because achieving these goals and realising your dreams requires a foundation of overall physical, emotional and mental wellbeing … we do that too
  • more emotional control, less stress and anxiety
  • different perspective on current symptoms or ailments and often complete resolution
"I was trying to deal with my mother’s deteriorating health … I felt helpless in the face of her declining mental and physical condition …  I went through the whole range of guilt, anger, uselessness, bossiness all borne out of frustration at the knowledge I couldn’t actually do anything about any of it. From the start, Clare’s way of helping was different I was able to talk freely I felt totally at ease and engaged, that I was being listen to and understood instead of being in a programme which didn’t really understand me. I recommend Clare, in particular to men like me who may be sceptical that they will benefit from help to overcome personal and emotional struggles.” Richard, 62 - retired Training Director
Why choose to work with me ...
I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, but I have particular expertise of working with men and issues experienced from a ‘masculine’ perspective (people who identify with the mindset and behaviours characteristics associated with masculine energy dominance). For 25 years prior to working as an independent consultant, 90% of the people I worked with, and was responsible for, were men. This gave me a unique insight into the issues men face in our ever-changing world, and how best to get them resolved.

I also specialise in helping resolve issues I’ve experienced and recovered from myself, and those that have affected the majority of the 1,000s of people I’ve worked with over the last 25 years.
My personal experience of PTSD, C-PTSD, and dissociative trauma has enabled me to acquire a first-hand and expert understanding and experience of recovery from the following:
  • Mental health: stress, anxiety, anger
  • Existential crisis: self-actualisation, psychic trauma
  • Attachment and relationship issues
 I developed my own integrative approach as a result and am now helping and guiding others get their own results.
Who am I, do we fit…
You can find out more about who I am and why I’m right for you on my about us page, but don’t take my word for it read full testimonials from other male clients.
“Last year my marriage of 30 years broke down and I was devastated. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't relax, my mind was in turmoil. I lost all confidence in myself and contemplated suicide. I don't remember how Clare found out about my predicament, but she offered to help me. It began with talking therapy, generally discussing my feelings and emotions. Clare is easy to talk to, and puts you at your ease. Clare used hypnotherapy to help me overcome these thoughts. Since our face-to-face sessions, she has continued to provide remote, electronic and telephone, assistance whenever I feel times are hard. I'm not at the end of my tunnel yet, but I can honestly say that without Clare's support, I would be in a much darker place.”           Male Client (60), Director Professional Services

When you feel heard and understood, and get to know me as I share more about who I am, you’ll decide whether you like me, feel like you can trust me, and are ready to work with me … and you know what, I’ll be doing the same. Unfortunately, I can’t work with everyone.
It’s that simple … and to make it easy for you, I offer a 30 minute 'meet me' session to see how well we fit.
