About Clare
Clare Lay MBACP, Reg(COSRT), MBA
I am a fully qualified Relationship Counsellor and Psychosexual Therapist in Private Practice. I support individuals and couples through stressful times of relational worries or concerns, sensitively helping clients understand their attachment patterns and then to make positive changes and build more secure relationships.
My work is guided by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy’s Ethical Framework and COSRT Code of Practice, which lay out professional standards. The emotional wellbeing of my clients is the focus at all times and I guide conversations and offer interventions until issues can be worked out in the comfort of your own home.

Difficulties in a relationship can be caused by misunderstandings and conflict. Often, there is poor communication, affairs, changes in life circumstances, or intimacy problems. Help is there for anyone to explore cycles of unhelpful dynamics and even separation and how to move on.
Qualified to work with one or two people in the room, I nurture your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Together, we explore past patterns and identify current responses that are causing hurt and arguments.
Psychosexual Therapy includes addressing psychological blocks to sexual functioning and how to manage physical dysfunctions or challenges. Desire discrepancies, erectile difficulties or painful sex (for whatever reason) are most common.
As well as face-to-face sessions in our private premises, I offer regular sessions online via Zoom. Find out more about prices and booking.
My work seeks to bring a positive impact on personal and couple development within or outside of a relationship forging a new understanding to improve communication and intimacy more broadly. Therapy offers new ways of thinking.
