Jaclyn Clayden

With over 20 years experience working in the field of Psychology, I understand that life is rarely simple. Relationships, life events and daily stresses can take their toll, and often we are presenting a picture of calmness to the outside world whilst feeling stressed out and overwhelmed inside.

• Do you ever feel like you're holding everything together out of fear of letting others down? Maybe you are the one in charge (home or work) and feel that it’s your responsibility to keep everything stable, even when it feels impossible?

• Are there past experiences that still affect how you feel today, or are you stuck in patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you?

• Perhaps you feel like an imposter – doubting yourself and convinced one day you will get caught out?

I will help you unpack whatever you are carrying, support you in a development a self-awareness and new perspective, building a stronger self esteem and confidence. My main objective is to give you a space where you can speak your truth, no judgement just a genuine sounding board that can give you some insight and tools along the way. 

I utilise various therapeutic models to sensitively meet you where you are, but also put a supportive framework in place to give you that gentle challenge to work towards the change you are looking for, improve resilience, develop confidence to introduce boundaries, express your needs, build stronger relationships and accept yourself.

My client work often focusses on areas such as (but not limited to);

• Low mood.

• Lack of Boundaries & people pleasing.

• Low Self-Esteem/Confidence.

• Relationship Difficulties.

• Anxiety.

• Navigating life events/stresses.

• Burnout.

• Loss.

• Painful Pasts.
