Jaclyn Clayden
With over 20 years of experience in Psychology, I am a BACP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist offering confidential, compassionate talking therapy for adults and young people aged 16+. I support clients both in Lancashire and through online therapy across the UK, helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, low mood, burnout, relationship difficulties, and the emotional patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
My work is grounded in evidence‑based therapeutic approaches and a relational style that helps you understand yourself more deeply, reduce emotional overwhelm, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
My Therapeutic Approach:
As an Integrative Therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic models. This flexible approach allows me to meet you sensitively where you are, while offering a supportive structure that encourages growth, resilience, and self‑understanding.
Together, we can explore:
- Building confidence and healthy boundaries
- Reducing people‑pleasing behaviours
- Expressing your needs more clearly
- Improving relationships with others
- Strengthening your relationship with yourself
- Understanding past experiences that shape current patterns
My therapy is grounded in a Psychodynamic approach (understanding how our past influences our today), supported by Humanistic psychology (appreciating your unique lived experiences) and CBT. Building your own self-compassion by working with the inner critic, shame, and self‑judgement to build emotional safety and self‑worth.
I offer a non‑judgemental, empathetic space where you can bring whatever feels heavy, confusing, or difficult to say out loud. I won’t give advice or tell you what to do — instead, I listen deeply, reflect with you, and walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences and move toward meaningful change.
I welcome clients through Self‑referral, Agency referral, Corporate & workplace wellbeing initiatives, and some insurers.
