About Clare
Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years' experience supporting people through difficult times. She works from the United Kingdom and sees clients who live in the UK. Clare aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of what they are facing.
Clare helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, loss and trauma.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with self-esteem difficulties, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, and questions linked to identity and sexuality. Additional focuses include ADHD, sleep and eating problems, parenting strains, and coping with life changes. Her working style is integrative and client-led.
That means she draws on a range of evidence-based techniques and shapes sessions around each person's needs. Clare describes her approach as relational and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on listening, validation and practical steps forward. For those who want it, Clare can offer counselling from a Christian perspective while welcoming people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
Sessions are offered by video call, telephone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different preferences and schedules. People choose Clare when they want a steady presence while they process painful experiences, work through attachment or abandonment issues, or address feelings of emptiness and isolation.
Her aim is to help people build clarity, resilience and greater self-acceptance at a pace that feels right for them.
How Clare brings evidence-based approaches to online therapy
Clare uses an integrative mix of evidence-based techniques tailored to each person. One common strand is trauma-informed work, which focuses on understanding how past distress affects feelings and behaviour now and on building safety and grounding skills to reduce overwhelm. This approach can help people dealing with abuse, dissociation, or long-standing trauma responses.She also draws on relational, attachment-focused ways of working that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. These methods help when someone struggles with abandonment, codependency, jealousy or difficulty forming close bonds. The goal is to notice repeating patterns and try small changes in how people relate to themselves and others.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Clare will discuss options with each person and adapt techniques to fit their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. That collaborative planning helps shape a pace and focus that suit the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits in her practice. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and shorter live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats provide flexibility to fit sessions into work, family or other commitments while enabling consistent ongoing support.
