Clare O'Bree

Welcome to Clare O'Bree, a private practice located in Prahran, Cecil Place, 6. As an establishment focused on health and personal growth, we strive to create a safe and open space for individuals to engage in meaningful personal exploration. With over fourteen years of experience, our practice offers a unique and enriching environment for individuals to find pathways to greater freedom, creativity, and fulfillment.

At Clare O'Bree, we prioritize emotional safety and value curiosity and openness. Our aim is to provide a judgment-free space where clients can express themselves freely without fear of judgment or overwhelm. Through cultivating creativity and safety within sessions, both the client and therapist can explore, experiment, make mistakes, and foster repair. This requires mutual generosity and respect, creating a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship.

With a background in clinical psychology and a dedication to continual learning, our therapist has immersed herself in relational, experiential, and arts-based approaches to psychotherapy. By weaving together diverse threads of training and clinical experience, she has developed an approach that is solid and deep. She remains open to new knowledge and techniques, ensuring that clients receive the most effective and up-to-date therapy.

Our therapist also brings considerable experience in responding to the impacts of trauma and early attachment relationship challenges. With empathy, honesty, and hope, she navigates these complex past experiences, offering support and understanding. Whatever brings you to therapy, our therapist will collaborate with you sensitively and attentively to move towards a deeper understanding of what truly matters to you. She does not advise or assume to know more than you do, but rather works alongside you to discover what you need to experience relief and a greater sense of meaning and connection.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, Clare O'Bree offers creative arts techniques as a means of discovering and shifting perspective. These gentle and surprising methods provide unique opportunities for exploration and growth. Our approach also emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining supportive and enriching relationships in all areas of life. By reflecting on early patterns of relating and their impact, our therapist empowers clients to make flexible choices through greater self-understanding and awareness of their relationships.

Whether you are struggling to make sense of the past or move on from difficult experiences, Clare O'Bree is here to support you. Our sessions are currently being provided either in person or through virtual platforms, ensuring flexibility and accessibility in receiving therapy. Join us in this journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
