It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens.

About me

Hello, my name is Clare Graci

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist offering support for those aged 16 and over. My experience includes work at the Princess Alice Hospice in Esher, Epsom Counselling Service, a Guildford based charity offering long term affordable counselling and working within an Adoption Group.

With any therapy the relationship between counsellor and client is key to the effectiveness of the work. I truly believe in the positive effects that counselling and psychotherapy can achieve and work collaboratively with clients in order to build the trust essential for the therapeutic relationship to develop and grow.

I offer a warm, empathic and calm space where you can feel safe to explore your feelings and the issues that are troubling you. Talking to a counsellor is unlike talking to friends or family as it allows you a confidential space to be listened to and the opportunity to explore your feelings and issues without fear of judgement. It can provide a new perspective on situations as well as the ability to see things more clearly. It is an opportunity to take a step back and see areas for potential change to bring about a more fulfilled way of life and living.
