Professional Counselling in Street, Somerset, near Glastonbury and Online Across the UK
If life feels overwhelming, counselling can offer a place to pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing.
At Clear Path Counselling, Claire Kelly offers professional counselling, specialising in supporting adults (16+) who feel emotionally overwhelmed, highly sensitive, or struggling to cope, helping them feel more grounded, safe, and able to move forward.
Her work includes anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and neurodiversity, approached through a trauma-informed and body-aware lens.
Alongside this, Claire recognises that many people are also navigating deeper questions about meaning, identity, and purpose, and offers a space where emotional and psychological work can sit alongside each person’s own sense of spirituality, in a way that feels natural, personal, and non-judgemental.
This is a warm, confidential space where you can talk openly, without judgement or pressure, and begin to understand the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be shaping your life.
Grounded counselling for sensitive people navigating overwhelm, change, and deeper life questions.
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity can not survive.”

Support for Trauma, Grief, Life Changes and Neurodiversity
Counselling offers steady support when life feels overwhelming, whether you are navigating trauma, grief, identity shifts, emotional exhaustion, or growing understanding of neurodiversity in yourself or in important relationships.
Six Sessions to Begin
We begin with six sessions, meeting weekly or fortnightly, creating a steady space for reflection and change.
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 Counselling
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.
A Focused One-Off Session
We can take a one-off deeper dive, with a 2-hr immersive, focused session on a specific theme, challenge, or life transition.
These sessions may draw upon myth, ritual, and deep listening as we journey through a threshold to help you navigate life’s turning points.
This is a space to work through an issue, decision, or process in one concise session.
We may include a guided inner journey, space to talk or journal, oracle cards to guide, and ritual to embody.
Why Counselling?
There are times in life when the surface no longer holds, and we are drawn to look beneath. You feel 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.
Counselling supports people experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
What to Expect from a Counselling Session
Clear Path Counselling offers a calm, confidential space to pause, reflect, and explore what may be asking for attention in your life.
Sessions are shaped around your needs, your pace, and what feels possible to approach, with warmth, steadiness, and respect for your own way of making sense of things.
You Shape the Path
Each person’s journey is different. The work may include reflective conversation, grounding practices, body awareness, creative exploration, or simply careful listening to what needs words.
Where helpful, Claire may draw on approaches such as:
– Somatic Awareness
– Grounding & Breathwork
– Trauma-Informed Reflection
– Mindfulness
– Symbolic or Creative Exploration
– Compassionate Enquiry
