Being there for others is easier when you take time to re-fuel.
I’m Clare Gale, a qualified Counsellor who supports people to work on issues such as anxiety, depression and ways to feel more fulfilled.
Simply come along to counselling as you are. Much of my work is with Mums, parents of disabled or neurodivergent children, and Carers. If you are feeling like you have lost yourself in the mix of life, you are in the right place.

What is Counselling?
Counselling frequently involves talking about difficult experiences and feelings. We’ll work together to find tools that will help you to manage the stresses of daily life and rediscover who you are.
Counselling isn’t about being given advice but instead, it’s about being given the space and time for self-reflection and processing. Space and time is something that is often hard to come by for people who care for others. Yet it is essential to our own refuelling and sense of wellbeing. It’s the ultimate self-care for both you and your family.
Someone who ‘gets it’
In our Counselling sessions you can say what needs to be said and talk to someone who ‘gets it’. There is no pressure to act or be a certain way in your Counselling sessions. Simply come along as you are. I will support you to share and explore at a pace that feels safe and right for you. I’m a neurodivergent affirming Counsellor, who is learning all the time about how different we all are.
Benefits of Counselling
Going at your pace
Together we will look at whatever aspects of your life that you want to focus on. For example, you might want to work on ways to manage anxiety and depression or develop coping strategies for when you feel overwhelmed. You might want time to reflect on relationships, bereavement, looking at the direction of your life – the list goes on. Never underestimate the power of someone coming alongside you and being truly listened to.
Who I work with
I am qualified to work in many areas of counselling, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, burnout and trauma. Much of my work is in my areas of special interest, which is with Mums, parent carers, people who care for someone else, and people who are going through the experience of having a Transplant. I am a Counsellor for people from all over the UK online on Zoom, or face to face in Totnes, Devon.
