Clare Brentnall , BACP

Clare Brentnall is a psychodynamic counsellor credentialed in the United Kingdom with 4 years of professional experience. She works from a psychodynamic perspective, helping people explore how past experiences may be connected to current behaviour and offering space to reflect on feelings and thoughts about themselves and their relationships.

Clare has supported clients experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and depression. She approaches therapy believing that each person is the expert of their own story and that personal strengths can be drawn on to face and overcome challenges. Clare recognises the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and aims to offer steady support throughout that process. She holds BACP membership, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Psychodynamic Approaches and Remote Therapy Options

Clare practices psychodynamic therapy, which involves exploring how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present thoughts, feelings, and relationships. This approach supports deeper self-understanding and can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, low mood, and recurring emotional patterns.

In sessions she offers a reflective space to notice patterns and make sense of emotional responses, helping clients identify strengths and new ways of relating to themselves and others. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Clare works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Clare is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to work with licensed professionals from locations that suit each client, while allowing sessions to be scheduled around everyday commitments.
