Clayton Elliott


Self-Awareness in a Safe Space

My counselling style is rooted in the Person-Centred Approach. I start with the belief that, with the right support, we all have the ability to move towards a more fulfilling and satisfying way of being and living our lives.  As the Counsellor, my role is helping you develop a greater sense of self-awareness in a safe space.

Although my core training is in the Person-Centred Approach, I have a keen interest in other approaches, including mindfulness, outdoor-therapy and existential therapy. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety and stress, bereavement, relationship problems, self-esteem, abuse, addiction and others. I also work in a variety of ways including Remote Counselling, intensive therapy weekends and ‘walk-and-talk’ approaches. 

 

Beyond the counselling room, I am a father, musician and writer.  I have worked and volunteered for environmental and social organisations for most of my adult life and am the Founder and Chief Executive of the charity ‘Counselling for Social Change’.

I am here to offer you a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space to explore your feelings, personal relationships, or simply to provide an opportunity to deepen your self-understanding.

I am fully insured, DBS checked and work to the National Counselling Societies' Code of Ethics.
