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 group 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.

G100 Mental Health Wing – Truro City Chair (UK)

I am honoured to have been invited to join the G100 Mental Health Wing as the Truro City Chair for the UK, under the ALL Ladies League, a global network of women leaders working together to advance wellbeing, equality, and positive change across 100 sectors worldwide.

My work has never been about titles; it has always been about people: real conversations, trauma-support, nervous system understanding, and creating spaces where humans feel safe, seen, and not rushed through their own experiences. But to have my work and passion recognised within an international network like this means such a lot.

NHS “Waiting Well” Workshops & Group Coaching

In recent years, I have worked with Practical Wisdom and the NHS for a large county in the South of England to deliver online workshops and group coaching sessions for adults on the Waiting Well list for ADHD and autism assessments. These sessions were designed to support emotional wellbeing, build regulation skills, and offer a neurodivergent-friendly space where people could feel understood, resourced, and validated during long assessment waits. This work deepened my commitment to accessible mental health support and trauma-aware practice.

I have facilitated Red Tent gatherings, meditation and healing workshops, forest bathing group walks, vision board workshops and ceremonies focused on releasing childhood trauma and addressing the mother wound. These workshops are designed to strengthen 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 people 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.
