The Here & Now Integrative Counselling is for people who feel disconnected from themselves, their sense of meaning, or their families, communities, and environment, often shaped by trauma, attachment wounds, or long-held patterns of anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviours, or emotional overwhelm.

Who Am I?

Will Cleverly - MBACP | BA, PgCert, AdvDip

I am Will. I'm a fully qualified and insured counsellor. I am a registered member of the BACP and follow their official guidelines for ethical practice.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens through relationship: a safe, attuned therapeutic space where your nervous system can settle, your story can be held without judgement, and your inner world can begin to make sense. Together, we explore how past experiences continue to live in the present not just as thoughts, but as felt patterns in the body, emotions, and relationships.

My approach weaves together relational, somatic, and psychodynamic therapy to guide us back to well-being in the here and now. I draw on trauma-informed techniques, Focusing-oriented psychotherapy, attachment theory, and psycho-spiritual perspectives to support integration at a pace that feels right for you. Rather than analysing or fixing, we gently attend to what wants to be noticed, sensations, images, emotions, or a sense of “something there” that may not yet have words. This process supports the body and psyche to do what they are naturally oriented towards: regulation, meaning-making, and wholeness. Spiritual or symbolic experiences are welcomed where relevant, always grounded in embodied safety and choice.

I work with adults navigating trauma, recovery, identity, creativity, neurodivergence, and existential or spiritual questions. You don’t need to have a clear reason for coming, only a sense that something in you wants attention or care. Therapy with me is collaborative, respectful, and deeply human. My role is not to interpret your experience, but to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your own inner knowing, resilience, and capacity to feel more at home in yourself and in the world.
