Clare Stebbens

Professional Profile

My name is Clare and I am a fully qualified and BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (140591). I have over fifteen years’ experience of working within both private and NHS mental health services. This has included working with adults and adolescents with a range of difficulties, in both primary and secondary care mental health settings.

I currently offer remote therapy session to adults. These sessions can be via Microsoft Teams, or telephone. I currently have availability on Tuesday and Saturday mornings.

My main specialties are in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Specific Phobias). I am also experienced in delivering support to those who are experiencing relationship difficulties and stress.

I am dedicated to continuing to expand my knowledge and expertise and I have developed a specialist interest in third wave therapies including Mindfulness and Compassion Focused Therapy. I have also completed specific training on delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to those with long-term health conditions. Additionally, I have completed supervisor training.

My approach to therapy is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space in order to deliver collaborative and goal directed treatment. I have a warm, yet practical and down-to-earth approach to therapy, which is centred on developing a strong therapeutic relationship.

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
