I pull away in my car (Fiat Punto if it makes any difference) and as i change into 2nd, then 3rd etc etc... As I release the clutch pedal the revs stay the same for a while and then it seems the car seems to catch up with itself? If that makes sense? I don't really know how to describe it, but does it seem like I need a new clutch? The car has just under 59,000 miles and I think it's on the original clutch.

Get it checked:
Clutch slip is normally most obvious when giving the car full beans in a taller gear, e.g. 4th or above, particularly up a hill.
You'd notice it - the revs rising for moment and the cars performance trying to catch up.
