About Clare
She approaches therapy collaboratively, using discussion alongside practical worksheets to explore the factors affecting current wellbeing and to map out realistic steps toward personal goals. Clare tailors sessions to each individual, aiming to provide support that matches their expectations and circumstances. Her practice focuses on building a therapeutic relationship grounded in respect and kindness while helping clients identify strategies for change and coping.
Clare holds BACP registration - a credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. She offers flexible ways to connect, working with people locally and internationally who are looking for thoughtful, person-focused support.
Client-Centered Care and Online Access
Clare uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach is helpful for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem issues because it prioritizes the client’s experience and personal goals.
She is also trained in integrative techniques, combining elements from different therapeutic approaches to better match the needs of each person. This flexibility allows Clare to draw on practical tools, discussion, and worksheets when exploring the reasons behind current wellbeing and planning steps forward.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare works together with each client to identify the methods that feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to connect from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in how and when people engage with therapists and can support consistent access to care with licensed professionals.
