William Bennet-Clark (my pronouns are he/him)

I am a qualified Integrative Therapist. I am also a registered member of the BACP. I believe we are all works in progress, and are never really "done". In my practice I am grounded, authentic, calm and down to earth. I have significant experience of working with drug, gambling and alcohol dependency issues as well as grief, anxiety, depression, life stages, self-esteem and trauma-related childhood issues. 

I provide a non-judgemental space, where you will always be warmly welcomed and safely held. The first step is to notice that perhaps something in your life isn't as you would like it to be. The second is the desire to do something about it. There is no right or wrong reason to come to therapy. Being human is complicated. It can take a lot of courage to come to therapy, and for some, to continue to do so when exploring difficult subjects. It is my belief that you are the expert on you. Therefore it is for us to explore together, with my support, what is is that brings you to counselling, and what you hope to achieve. As an Integrative Counsellor I will tailor my approach to what is most appropriate to you, with your permission, and you're always welcome to enquire about my practice. I will do my best to meet you where you are. Mostly, I use my counselling knowledge, life experience and skills to assist me in exploring your perspective of the world. My intention is to share knowledge and empower you to find the tools to be able to look after, and regulate yourself. To me, the quality of our working relationship is of primary importance. I believe that it's the quality of the therapeutic relationship that does the healing. Indeed, it's been argued that this is almost as important as the modality of the therapist. 

Therefore I think it's important for me to be the right "fit" for you, and you for me. With this in mind I offer a free 15 minute introductory phone call to introduce ourselves to each other, and decide if booking a first session would be suitable.
