Clair Maleney
Hello I’m Clair! I’m completing my counselling
training at Sheffield College. I bring my previous experience to my work as a
counsellor including as a researcher in areas around justice, race, health, and
creativity. As a researcher I developed skills of creating a welcoming space
and listening to individuals to help them unpack complex experiences they have
had. I am also a documentary filmmaker whose primary focus is films around
well-being, mental health recovery, and empowerment. I have a strong belief in the ability of
people to heal and grow, and a great respect for the many different types of
wisdom that exist in the world.
My approach
I work in a non-directive Humanistic way. As
your counsellor, I will be different from you in any number of ways, but my aim
is to understand your experience from your perspective and walk with you
wherever you wish to go.
I work to be an active anti-racist,
LGBTQIA+ ally, and disability and neurodiversity affirming counsellor.
