Charles Clark Counselling – George

About Charles Clark

Charles Clark’s journey into psychology represents a significant personal transformation. After a successful career in a completely different field, Charles decided to pursue a profession more aligned with his true calling. In 2010, he experienced a profound turning point that led him to the field of psychology. A combination of his work with a community-based addiction recovery programme and seeking personal therapy allowed him to let go of the façade he had built. These experiences sparked his passion for helping others overcome similar struggles.

Through his own healing, Charles learned the importance of self-disclosure. He discovered that embracing openness brought him closer to his true self, fostering mindfulness and presence in his life. Now, he integrates this philosophy into his counselling work. Charles creates a safe, compassionate space where clients can open up without fear of judgment. His unique blend of empathy and therapeutic expertise enables him to guide individuals and couples through life’s challenges, helping them build more authentic lives.

Services Offered

Individual Counselling

Charles offers an integrative approach to individual therapy, blending Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Schema Therapy. EFT helps clients explore and process core emotions, enabling them to understand their emotional needs and develop healthier coping strategies. At the same time, Schema Therapy addresses deep-rooted beliefs and early life experiences, which may influence current emotional responses and behaviours. By identifying and challenging maladaptive patterns, clients can foster self-awareness and emotional resilience.

Individual therapy can help with the following:

• Anxiety and Stress
• Self-esteem and Confidence
• Emotional Regulation
• Overcoming Trauma
• Personal Growth and Self-Discovery
• Behavioural Changes and Development

By combining cognitive, emotional, and behavioural techniques, Charles empowers clients to make meaningful changes that positively impact their well-being.

Relationships & Couples Therapy

Couples often struggle with cycles of conflict, misunderstanding, and emotional disconnection. In his work with couples, Charles uses Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on emotions at the heart of the therapeutic process. This approach strengthens emotional bonds, addresses unmet needs, and improves communication between partners.

EFT helps couples understand their emotional responses and challenges, especially regarding attachment needs. By fostering openness and vulnerability, Charles supports couples in breaking negative communication patterns and building deeper emotional connections. As a result, partners can rebuild trust, increase intimacy, and cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

Common issues addressed in couples therapy include:

• Communication Breakdowns
• Emotional Disconnection
• Conflict Resolution
• Trust and Intimacy Issues
• Relationship Trauma and Healing

Charles provides a supportive environment for partners to explore their feelings, improve communication, and enhance emotional intimacy.
