Clara Luxford

Clara approaches counselling and psychotherapy in a humanistic and holistic way that is non-judgemental and compassionate. She has a deep respect for the unique nature of each of her clients and the individual way they experience the world. Clara believes that each of us is the expert on our own lives and that we all have the innate wisdom to heal and grow. Sometimes, for many different reasons, this process is interrupted or does not work well.

In counselling and psychotherapy you can rediscover this wisdom and move forward. Clara is here to assist you in a safe and supportive environment, where you can explore those aspects of your life that may be limiting your progress towards meaningful change. Along with dialogue, Clara may use a method called focusing which is a powerful way to tap into what the body knows.

Clara brings substantial life experience along with her academic studies across a number of disciplines including Italian Language and Literature, Heritage Conservation, International Social Development, Media Studies and Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She can help you to experience the sense of well being and relaxation that results from regular meditation. She will also support you while you establish a meditation practice that is right for you

Sandplay

“A basic postulate of sandplay therapy is that deep in the unconscious, given the proper conditions, there is an autonomous tendency for the psyche to heal itself”-Estelle L Weinrib

Sandplay is a creative way to express the non verbal realm of the unconscious mind. When used with talking therapies it can deepen and accelerate the healing process.Clara can gently guide you through the sandplay experience as part of your counselling process.
