Not sure who to choose?
Choosing a therapist can feel like a big decision. If you're struggling to decide, maybe start with the area you want support with and then look at the way each therapist describes their approach. Hopefully this will give you a gut instinct about who you'll find it easiest to talk to.
If you are unsure, you can get in touch and we can help you think through the options.
Working with a therapist at The Clearing
A gentle, supportive pace
Sessions move at your own pace. You will not be pushed to talk about anything before you feel ready.
A collaborative relationship
Your therapist works with you, not on you. Together you'll explore what's been going on and get to the heart of the matter.
Carefully considered support
Your therapist will listen carefully to what you share, shaping therapy around your needs to support you to find a positive way forward.
Choose the session format that works for you
The Clearing primarily offers online counselling and therapy, with some therapists also offering in-person sessions across the North East, depending on availability.
