About Clare

Clare Brentnall is a UK-based psychodynamic counsellor with four years of professional experience helping people explore the links between past experiences and current behaviour. She works from a psychodynamic framework that creates space to reflect on feelings, recurring patterns, and the ways early relationships can shape present-day responses.

Clare has supported clients with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, and depression, and she also works with family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach emphasizes understanding how history and emotion influence thoughts and interactions, and she encourages clients to notice patterns that may be limiting their wellbeing.

Clare holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that individual strengths play a central role in overcoming challenges. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, and Clare offers steady support as clients explore goals, develop insight, and work toward meaningful change.

Psychodynamic Insight Delivered Through Online Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore how past experiences and emotional patterns influence current behaviour and relationships. It invites reflection on recurring themes, early attachments, and unconscious influences so clients can gain deeper self-understanding and make different choices in daily life.

In practice, this approach focuses on feelings, memories, and interpersonal patterns rather than quick symptom fixes. It can be helpful for people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions by offering a space to trace how old patterns show up now.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Clare collaborates with each person to identify what will be most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider the pace and focus of sessions to find a good fit.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from home or while balancing other commitments. These flexible formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer regular support in ways that suit different schedules and communication styles.
