AN INTRODUCTION TO CLARE VENNER COUNSELLING

Sometimes in life we have worries that are difficult to overcome and may affect our mental and physical health and our relationships. 
Your feelings may be too painful or private to discuss with family or friends.
 
Talking with a professional counsellor can help you explore these feelings in a confidential environment.
 You can unburden your concerns, big or small, and have the chance to move on to a more contented life. 
 
Getting to this stage and actively looking for someone to help you is a huge step forward.

ABOUT CLARE VENNER

MA(Hons), MA, FdSc Counselling
I am an experienced counsellor who is warm and down to earth by nature. I am married with young adult children and an assortment of animals. I love the outdoors.
 
My early career was in building conservation, however, in mid life I decided to go for counselling myself to explore unresolved childhood issues associated with addiction problems within my family.
 
I know first hand how powerful counselling can be and how it can change your life and relationships for the better. This led me to retrain as a counsellor so that I could help others.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERTISE

I have a degree in Person Centred Counselling and this is the basis of how I work, building a trusting therapeutic relationship in which positive change can take place.

Sometimes I integrate other skills and techniques when appropriate, such as :- elements of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), transactional analysis and mindfullness.

I counsel individuals on a very wide range of issues and have a particular interest in addictions and bereavement.

In recent years I have worked for Pathways to Recovery in Worcester and Aquarius in Shrewsbury, helping people overcome the harms of alcohol.

I was a voluntary counsellor for North Worcestershire Bereavement Support for over ten years.

“I just wanted to thank you so very much for all the support and care
that you have given me over the last year.

It has made a massive difference to my way of coping. I won’t forget you”
“Thank you for everything, I’m in a really good place now.

Yes I have to deal with temptations and stresses but that’s life
and you have taught me how to deal with it”
“I found you very professional, approachable and easy to talk to.
I’d definitely recommend you to others”
“It has been an honour and a privilege being counselled by you, Clare”
“I have learnt so much from you and now have the 'tools' to dig myself out
of the rut I found myself in.

For this gift you have given me I shall be forever grateful“
“I can’t thank you enough for the help, support and insight you have given me during my counselling training” Student Counsellor
“It is rare that one can say sincerely that a person has changed one’s life, but you have changed mine"
