Clare Herbert, BACP

Clare Herbert is a United Kingdom based therapist with seven years of professional experience supporting people through a range of emotional challenges. She is BACP accredited - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings focused work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation difficulties, and depression. Clare draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage symptoms and rebuild a sense of control and wellbeing.

In sessions she emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. Clare aims to listen carefully, help clients explore patterns that maintain distress, and collaborate on practical steps for change. Her approach is steady and empathetic, tailored to each person’s needs and paced to match what feels manageable.

Recognizing that seeking therapy takes courage, Clare works to make the first sessions welcoming and straightforward. She supports clients through moments of loss and transition, and she helps people develop confidence, coping skills, and motivation for the next steps in their lives.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Clare uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes exploring the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood - it helps people identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping strategies. Another strand of her work concentrates on trauma-informed support and grief work, offering structured ways to process painful memories and manage reactions that follow loss or abuse.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and Clare treats it as a collaborative process. She and each client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques over time so the plan fits the individual’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with Clare is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals whether clients are local or international, and they allow therapy to continue around life commitments.
