Counselling for Couples and Individuals in Deal, Kent and Online

Welcome to Wild Deer Therapy

With Clara Dawson

I’m an experienced integrative therapist offering a compassionate and human space for you to explore what’s going on for you.

If you feel disconnected from yourself, struggling with overwhelming feelings or thoughts, self-doubt, or lingering patterns from childhood experiences, I can support you in making sense of it all so you can freely live your life.

Therapy isn’t just about addressing pain, it’s about rediscovering your sense of wholeness. Whether you feel stuck, unheard, or uncertain about yourself, we can work together to help you reconnect and move toward emotional balance and well-being.

I'm trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQ+ inclusive. Every part of our work is tailored to your unique needs, identity, and lived experience.
