Wendy Clare, BACP

Wendy Clare is an accredited UK counsellor with 12 years of professional experience who has supported people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances. She specialises in helping individuals cope with stress, anxiety and depression, and she often guides clients in discovering practical coping techniques that make daily life more manageable. Wendy also works with people navigating difficult life changes where decisions feel unclear, and she assists those who are grieving to find ways of living with loss while honouring their feelings.

Known for treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion, she adopts a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process. In practice this means she works alongside clients to identify what matters most and to explore realistic steps toward change. Wendy holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a calm, supportive presence to each session.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can feel daunting, and Wendy offers steady support through those early steps and beyond, tailoring her work to each person’s individual needs and goals.

Client-Centred and Motivational Approaches for Online Support

Wendy Clare uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful and non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and perspectives guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and supporting self-directed growth, and it is helpful for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood or uncertainty about life direction. She also draws on motivational interviewing, a collaborative style that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. This method can be especially useful for challenges like behaviour change, addictions or making difficult decisions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss different ways of working and adapt methods over time so that therapy remains relevant and practical.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, Wendy makes therapy accessible and flexible to fit busy lives and varying comfort levels. These options allow ongoing support whether someone prefers real-time conversation or written communication, helping people maintain continuity of care without sacrificing convenience.
