Clare Myatt is a seasoned practitioner specialising in trauma, shame and addiction. She celebrated thirty-five years sobriety in 2023.

Clare’s first book Love & Imperfection: a therapist’s story  is an intimate memoir about her brave journey with Vietnam Vet client Bill. She dares to use the word agape to describe their mutually healing relationship, where they delved deep into emotion, empathy and compassion.

Both struggled with trauma, shame and addiction. Both changed. Relying on profound honesty, transparency and vulnerability, together they unwittingly experienced the healing power of love/agape. This revealing, poignant story will inspire those in the healing profession, as well as anyone interested in personal transformation.
