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

I am a fully qualified Integrative Therapist. I am also a registered member of the BACP.

I believe we are all works in progress, and we’re never really "done". We can be in and out of therapy several times in our lives, for different reasons. Humans are incredibly complex and fascinating beings. Their resilience to life events, strength in adversity and ability to cope, change and grow, never ceases to amaze me.

In my practice I am grounded, authentic, calm and down to earth. I have experience of working with grief, anxiety, depression, life stages, self-esteem, masculinity, abusive relationships and trauma-related childhood issues, as well as drugs, gambling and alcohol dependency issues.

I provide a non-judgemental and confidential 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, and life is often difficult and challenging.

It can take a lot of courage to come to therapy, and for many people, to continue to do so when exploring difficult subjects. It is my belief that you are the expert on you, and with support and the right conditions, people can change, and grow. I will do my best to offer you those conditions, then it’s for us to explore together, what it is that brings you to counselling, and what you hope to achieve.

My intention is to share my knowledge and empower you to find the tools to be able to look after, keep yourself safe and regulate yourself, wherever you are in your life. I also 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 phone call to introduce ourselves to each other, and decide if booking a first session would be suitable. You can read more about my practice here.
