Carol Wall Clarity Counselling

Hello. I am an experienced counsellor working with both individuals and couples. My aim is to create a safe confidential setting where you can explore the issues troubling you.

My approach is Person-Centred and Humanistic, this means that I will not judge you, but will try my best to understand you and work with you to find more positive ways of dealing with life. It is important for you to feel that you set the agenda, so that we talk about the areas that really matter to you. You can explore your concerns and I will support you in dealing with the challenges you are facing; I will work with you to help you to find the best way forward.

I have 20 years of Counselling and Psychotherapy experience, working in the NHS, in major charities and in private practice. I have held senior positions in London based addiction service and in rape and sexual abuse services, I am a qualified and experienced Relate Couples Counsellor. I train and supervise other counsellors for organisations such as MIND.

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy which means that I am accountable to their professional and ethical standards. More information can be found on the BACP website.
respect and celebrate diversity and value each individual as a unique human being, I aim to understand and support you whatever your background or beliefs.

How I Can Help

At times we all experience difficulties in our lives – stress, depression, anxiety, low confidence and low self esteem are common in today’s world, these are issues people face in everyday life. This does not mean we should shoulder these burdens alone. Many of us find it beneficial to share our thoughts and feelings with a supportive professional.

I specialise in relationship issues including relationships with partners, friends and work colleagues and family issues. Many people want to work on finding a relationship and others want to work through relationship problems including affairs, betrayals, sex problems, separation and divorce.

Addiction is another of my specialisms, I have extensive experience of working with clients with alcohol and drug problems, gambling, smoking, sex addiction and other addictive behaviours.

I’m experienced in working with child related issues such as pregnancy and birth, post natal depression, adoption, miscarriage and abortion. Many people come for couples counselling when their relationships are impacted by issues related to fertility or parenthood.

Bereavement effects us all at some time in our lives; the loss of a family member, partner, child, parent, friend or someone else in our lives is a very difficult experience and many people feel a great benefit from bereavement counselling. I also offer pet bereavement counselling – often people underestimate the impact of the loss of a beloved animal.

Coping with illnesses such as living with cancer and other serious conditions can feel very isolating, often counselling can be of great value to the individual and/or to their loved ones.

I work with many people who have deep seated issues and many who simply need to reflect on the trials of modern living.

How long we will work for

I offer long and short term individual therapy; my sessions are 50 minutes long. Most people see me on a weekly basis. We will continue to work together for as long as you need. Your needs in therapy will be unique to you and how long we see each other is dependent upon this. Some people come to therapy on a short term basis and others find it more beneficial to remain in therapy for longer. Counselling and Psychotherapy offer you a space to explore any issues that are troubling you.
