About Clare Payne

Clare Payne works from a humanistic, client-centred perspective, allowing each session to be led by what feels most important to the individual on the day. She collaborates with clients to explore recurring themes, identify stuck points and recognise patterns, while also helping to clarify and move toward the life someone wants to build.

She trained in Integrative Counselling and Coaching, completing a Postgraduate Diploma at the University of East London, and previously undertook courses in Person-Centred Counselling and Life Coaching. This combination supports a flexible way of working that adapts to a wide range of concerns and personal goals.

Clare’s starting point remains person-centred, creating a supportive environment in which clients set the pace and bring what matters to them. As the therapeutic relationship develops, she may draw on approaches such as CBT, NLP or coaching techniques to support goal-setting and practical progress.

Sessions are 45 minutes in length, and the initial meetings concentrate on understanding what has brought someone to therapy and what they hope to achieve. Those first appointments are also an opportunity to consider fit between client and therapist, since a good match can be important for progress.
