Clare Millichap, BACP

Clare Millichap is a qualified and registered counsellor (BACP) practising in the United Kingdom with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works exclusively with clients who are currently living in the UK and has dedicated her practice to helping people navigate issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, and depression. Clare also offers focused support for concerns including abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, personality-related concerns, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose questions, and money or financial worries.

Her approach is integrative, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and delivered in a client-led, relational, trauma-informed way that places the person at the heart of the process. Clare can also offer counselling from a Christian perspective for those who wish, while warmly welcoming people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. She frames reaching out for support as an act of strength and works with sensitivity and respect to help clients regain clarity, self-acceptance, and greater resilience.

Clients often share that they appreciate her calm presence, gentle honesty, and the experience of being genuinely heard as they make sense of their experiences and take steps forward at their own pace.

Integrative and Trauma-Informed Support Online

Clare uses an integrative approach that combines proven therapeutic techniques to meet each person's unique needs - this means drawing on different evidence-based methods to address difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or trauma. A trauma-informed approach helps recognise how past hurts and overwhelming experiences affect current feelings and behaviour, and focuses on pacing, safety, and building coping resources to support recovery. Clare also works in a relational, client-led way that emphasises the therapeutic relationship as a key ingredient for change, helping clients feel understood while exploring patterns and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Clare will work with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Clare is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support without the need to travel, helping clients maintain momentum in their work whether they prefer real-time conversation or messaging between sessions.
