WHAT’S PSYCHOTHERAPY AND WHAT’S CLARA’S APPROACH?

Psychotherapy is a deeply relational and experiential process. It is a collaborative journey between therapist and client, where healing unfolds not only through insight and understanding but also through the lived experience of being heard, seen, and supported in a safe therapeutic space.

Integrative psychotherapy is at the core of my practice. Drawing on a wide array of therapeutic modalities, I tailor the process to my client’s unique needs. In broad overview, my approach encompasses a range of cognitive, emotion-focused and body-based techniques, addressing the vastness of human experience—mind, body, emotions, and relationships. This adaptability makes integrative psychotherapy a powerful and deeply personalised approach to therapy, ensuring that healing unfolds in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.

At the heart of my work, I aim to create a space where clients experience a sense of internal safety and coherence. Trauma stabilisation and attachment repair are foundational elements in this journey. By learning to regulate the nervous system and tending to our relational patterns with curiosity and care, we lay the groundwork for deeper, lasting healing. When trauma is acknowledged with attunement and safety, therapy becomes not just a space for coping but a pathway to profound and long-lasting transformation. Likewise, when we recognise our relational patterns and where they stem from, we can begin to relate to others with greater flexibility, ease, and fulfillment.

I also support my work with somatic and mindfulness-based practices, as I believe that embodiment and presence foster integration, felt-sense healing. Healing is not just about understanding; it’s about feeling—learning to inhabit one’s body with greater ease, attuning to sensations, and cultivating a felt sense of safety. Somatic and mindfulness-based practices allow the therapeutic journey to be an experiential and integrative unfolding, where insight and self-awareness naturally translate into meaningful and lasting change in one’s world and relationships.
