Background and approach

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them. Clare uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings.

Conversations are clear and paced to suit each individual, with attention to emotional safety and practical problem solving. She is registered with NCPS, which is shown as her professional credential. Clare practises from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

She does not accept international clients at this time. Therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Clare asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so she can understand their needs before the first appointment.

How Clare adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Clare uses integrative, evidence-based techniques and adapts them to suit online sessions. One common strand is cognitive-focused work that helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative, more balanced thoughts; this can be useful for anxiety and low mood. She also draws on relational and attachment-informed ideas to notice how past losses or abandonment shape current relationships and self-view, which helps when working through trust, infidelity or blended family strain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare starts by listening to your goals and experience, then suggests methods to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as you go, so you and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging makes therapy flexible. Video works well when face-to-face connection matters, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or days when speaking feels difficult. These options help people fit sessions around work, family or other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
