Hi, my name is Clare Monson, SNHS Dip, IGCT. I am an integrative counsellor and herbalist practitioner, blending therapeutic approaches with the natural healing power of herbalism. My practice focuses on supporting individuals to heal, grow, and connect with their inner strengths. Over the years, I have worked with clients one-on-one and in groups, offering a holistic approach that honours the mind, body, and spirit.

While I primarily create spaces for women to connect, heal, and empower themselves, I also work with men individually and in mixed workshop settings.

As an integrative counsellor, I combine various therapeutic approaches with my expertise in herbalism, tailoring sessions to the unique needs of each client. Integrative therapy focuses on the whole person—mind, body, and emotions—offering a flexible approach that supports self-awareness, emotional healing, and resilience.

I have facilitated regular Red Tent gatherings, meditation and healing workshops, inner child connection sessions, and ceremonies focused on releasing childhood trauma and addressing the mother wound. These workshops are designed to foster self-awareness, collective support, and shared growth.

Living on the beautiful Cornish coast with my husband and three children for nearly 20 years, I draw inspiration from the wild coastline, using its healing energy to inform my work.

Throughout my life and career, I have developed skills rooted in deep intuition, empathy, active listening, and non-judgement. These qualities enable me to support others in feeling empowered to explore their own paths. As a mother, I can offer personal insight into birth trauma and postnatal depression, drawing from my own experiences of home births, hospital births, and a traumatic C-section.

As a survivor of abuse, I am especially passionate about supporting women facing PTSD, narcissistic relationships, toxic family dynamics, anxiety, and physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. My own personal experiences fuel my dedication to helping others find healing and strength.
