My name is Deborah Clarke. I am a Bristol based Chartered Psychologist with experience in counselling, coaching and organisational psychology. I am also a qualified Yoga Teacher.
I established LifeChanges in Bristol more than 20 years ago to help people manage challenging stages of their lives. Over time I have developed a unique blend of helping strategies, combining traditional talking therapies with other helpful techniques. This approach allows me to treat the whole person, and helps me to work creatively with the issues my clients face.
Our lives are shaped by periods of contrast – exciting opportunities and uncertain change. Talking to someone impartial yet empathetic can be of great benefit in helping us manage the changes we face.
My particular areas of interest include the mental and emotional challenges that result from the pressures society places on us to try and achieve a level of perfectionism. This can result in low self esteem and anxiety, at times leading to social isolation and despair.
I also work with the challenges of physical illness or with the issues which arise for carers and with clients who are facing bereavement.
I work from the Alma Vale Centre in Clifton and a central Bristol City location.
