Welcome to Clear Path Counselling
A space FOR YOU to rediscover yourself. To reconnect with what’s true. To come home.
Life can call us inward, especially in times of confusion, loss, transition, or deep emotional pain.
I listen with gentleness, curiosity & compassion — to the parts of you that are longing to be met. And in this space we find a different way forward….a clearer path.
I specialise in working with re-framing life’s experience in the face of neuro-diversity, chronic illness, grief and trauma. I offer space for transformation & recovery. I weave in connection to the bigger picture.
Ongoing Weekly or Bi-Weekly Sessions
We can work together for 1-hr weekly or bi-weekly, with a commitment of 6 sessions. This creates a safe and steady container to begin gently opening what needs to be explored, with care and intention. This is an ongoing space for deeper compassionate enquiry.
Longer-term work is available for those wishing to go much deeper. Every six weeks, we pause to review and reflect — checking in with your goals, inner shifts, and emerging needs. These moments of reflection help us stay grounded, focused, and attuned to your evolving journey.
One off Check in Sessions 1 hr
Or we can work together by request for a 1 hour check in. Existing clients have requested an opportunity to “check in” via an occasional session. This can be booked as and when is needed. This is a space to be curious & compassionate and check in with self. What feedback am i getting from my body, relationships, dreams, life situation? Its a space to re-align & reset.
Mythic Soul Sessions
We can take a one-off deeper dive, with a 2-hr immersive, focused session on a specific theme, challenge, or life transition.
Drawing on myth, ritual, and deep listening we journey through a threshold to help you navigate life’s turning points.
Each session offers a guided creative visualisation journey tailored to your needs — there is space to journal, ask questions, listen within & reflect.
We will create a symbol or talisman & reach a new perspective or comittment to self.
Therapeutic Immersions
This 2-hour therapeutic immersion session is a sacred container for personal transformation rooted in myth, ritual, and deep listening. It can be a one-off experience or something to go to when a re-set or re-tune is needed.
The Gift of Difference: Reclaiming Self-Worth, Identity & Belonging
Inspired by the tale of The Ugly Duckling
Perhaps you’ve been told you were too sensitive, too much, too intense, too different — and somewhere along the way, you stopped believing in your own value. In the story of The Ugly Duckling, a young swan is raised among ducks and spends his early life misunderstood, rejected, and unseen. Only later does he discover his true identity, and realise he was never wrong, just different.
Descent & Return: For Healing the Past, Meeting the Shadow & Reclaiming Wholeness
Inspired by the myth of Persephone’s Journey into the Underworld
Sometimes, the past doesn’t stay in the past. Old pain, early trauma, and forgotten parts of self can rise again — not to haunt us, but to be witnessed, integrated, and honoured. In the myth of Persephone, the young maiden is pulled into the underworld against her will. There, she is transformed. She returns not as a victim, but as a queen — one who has walked through darkness and found her strength.
Crossing the Threshold: For Life’s Transitions, Endings & New Beginnings
Inspired by the myth of Inanna’s Descent into the Underworld
Are you standing at a life threshold — between what was and what is yet to be?
Life change can leave you in the dark. Grieving, shedding, shifting — not quite who you were, not yet who you’re becoming. This deep 1:1 session helps you mark the in-between.
The Red Shoes: Reclaiming Inner Rhythm & Soulful Balance
Inspired by the tale from Women Who Run with the Wolves
Are you caught in a cycle of overdoing, overgiving, or emotional burnout?
Do you feel like you’re always “on,” but quietly longing to rest — to feel again, to breathe, to come home to yourself?
Using the evocative myth of The Red Shoes, we will explore what drives the dance of over-functioning and help you gently take off what no longer serves — the pressure, the pace, the patterns.
Why Counselling?
There are times in life when the surface no longer holds, and we are drawn to look beneath. You might be feeling anxious, stuck in old patterns, emotionally numb or overwhelmed, or simply unsure of who you are now.
Counselling offers a sacred pause — a protected space where you can gently unravel, re-weave, and remember yourself.
Through this soul work, we begin to:
- Understand long-held emotional patterns
- Reconnect with the wisdom of the body
- Bring compassion to old wounds
- Befriend your inner landscape
- Open pathways to healing, meaning, and inner peace
With the support of a grounded guide, this becomes a journey of self-remembrance — at your own rhythm, with you at the centre.
What to Expect
Clear Path Counselling is a space to rest, reflect, and realign. It’s a place where all parts of you are welcome — the shadow and the light, the grief and the longing, the questions and the quiet.
Counselling with me is not just about symptom relief — it is a soulful journey of returning to your authentic self.
Much like a mythic quest, we may travel through difficult terrain — past pain, hidden beliefs, ancestral echoes — and return with something precious: insight, clarity, self-worth, or renewed vitality.
You Shape the Path
Each person’s healing journey is unique — guided by your needs, your pace, and your intuition. Our work together is co-created, responsive, and held with deep care.
Sessions may include:
- Somatic practices
Breathwork, grounding techniques, and body-based awareness to gently reconnect with your nervous system and inner safety. Engaging in bodytalk & exploring what the body is holding & what the body needs. - Therapeutic conversation
Spacious, respectful, and intuitive dialogue that invites insight, clarity, and integration. We listen, we validate, we see, we hear & we offer compassionate understanding. - Mindfulness & DBT (Dialectic Behavioural Therapy) tools
Evidence-based practices to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, present-moment awareness, and self-compassion. - EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
A gentle, evidence-based practice that combines tapping on acupressure points with focused awareness to help release emotional blocks, reduce stress, and support nervous system regulation. - Creative exploration
Visualisation journeys, expressive journaling, art-making, and working with meaningful stories, objects or symbols to access deeper layers of self.
Whatever emerges, we meet it together — with compassion, reverence, and a deep respect for your soul’s unfolding.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
There is wisdom in your symptoms, your struggles, and your silence. Within the deep places, treasures wait to be retrieved.
Whatever brings you here — healing, clarity, reconnection, or simply a longing to feel more whole — you are not alone.
This is your path, and I’m here to walk alongside you.

FAQs
How do I book a free 20-minute consultation?
You can reach out via email at clairekelly90@gmail.com or use the consultation calendar link on the site to book.
During this call, we’ll chat about your needs, answer any questions, and see if working together feels right—no pressure, no obligation.
What happens in a consultation?
This session gives you space to share what’s on your heart and explore my approach to counselling. Together, we’ll check for alignment and decide next steps—whether you’d like to begin with a six-session block or take a different path. It’s confidential, compassionate, and entirely your pace.
How long does the counselling process take?
Initial sessions are typically held weekly or fortnightly. After six sessions, we pause to reflect on your progress. Then we decide whether to conclude or continue. Clients often choose to keep going with short-term or longer-term work, depending on their needs and goals.
How do I know if you’re the right counsellor for me?
The best way is through the free consultation. It’s a chance to sense whether the approach, energy, and pacing feel right. Many clients say just feeling understood and not judged helps them decide to continue.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, I offer sessions via Whereby, a secure and encrypted video platform. You can choose online-only or a hybrid schedule (mixing in-person and online sessions week by week).
What therapeutic approaches do you use?
I combine talk therapy, DBT tools, EFT, somatic practices, and creative ritual depending on what each session calls for. Mythic Soul Sessions weave in storytelling, symbolism, and artistic exploration, while longer-term counselling is tailored to your emotional rhythm.
Is this approach safe for clients who’ve experienced trauma?
Absolutely. I maintain an enhanced DBS, receive regular supervision, and follow ethical guidelines as a BACP member. I use trauma-informed, body-safe methods to support you in a grounded and sensitive environment.
What’s your practice location and accessibility?
Sessions in person take place in a private garden cabin in Street, Somerset (10 minutes from Glastonbury). It has free adjacent parking and is easy to reach off the M5. I’m fully accessible for online and local clients in the region.
