Introduction
Therapy (counselling and psychotherapy) offers you a safe, confidential place to talk about your life and anything that may be confusing, painful or uncomfortable. It allows you to talk with someone who is trained to listen attentively and to help you improve things.
As a therapist you can expect me to:
- offer a safe, confidential place, where you can talk about yourself and your life, which may be painful or confusing and may make you feel uncomfortable, angry or unhappy
- offer an opportunity to think and talk about yourself and your concerns in a way that you often can’t do with family and friends
- offer a place and time which is just for you to talk about those things that bother you
- listen to the way you feel and how this affects you and others
- accept the way you are without judging you
- help you to make the changes you would like to happen
- work hard to create a good therapeutic relationship with you so that we can work well together
- understand that it is not always easy to talk about problems and to express your feelings
- work with you towards improving your well being

Justin Clark
Therapist
Hello. My name is Justin Clark, and I work as a therapist offering counselling and psychotherapy in Nottingham. I also deliver training and workshops covering a range of personal development and management issues.
How I work
One of the things that clients may want to know about me is how I work as a therapist. I describe my therapeutic style as humanistic, integrative, and relational. For most people that doesn’t really mean very much, so I will try and explain.
Humanistic
This describes my basic beliefs about people, and forms the basis for my work as a therapist:
- everyone has essential worth
- people are not good or bad – we all have potential for both
- we all have the capacity to choose
- people are responsible for themselves
- people have the power to change and grow
- we exist in relationship with the world around us
- the truth about people is more than the sum of all the parts
Integrative
Humanistic therapies are all based on the beliefs above, and there are many theories and ways of understanding people that have stemmed from this. But there are also lots of other ways to approach this. As an integrative therapist I don’t stick rigidly to ‘a way to do therapy’ but incorporate aspects of many different theories including some of the ‘non-humanistic’ ones. I do this because I believe that they are useful and helpful to the work of therapy. Just as no two people are ever the same, I don’t believe that any one sort of therapy can ever be adequate for everyone.
Relational
Working in a relational way means that I place particular importance and value on the relationship that develops between myself and the client. Since I believe that we all exist in relationship with the world around us, then it seems obvious to me that when we are trying to make changes, or solve problems, or make sense of our experiences, we also do that in relationship. Therapy is very different to most other relationships you may have – that’s part of it’s value, but it is still a relationship.
Experience and qualifications
I have a wide range of experience of working with people who are in need of support, or experiencing difficulty. I have previously worked in mental health, supported housing, and alternative education. In 2007 I started my journey to being a therapist, completing a Counselling Concepts course. In 2013 I gained a BSc (Hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy with the Sherwood Institute in Nottingham.
