About Clare
Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred counsellor with seven years' experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Clare draws on a long background in holistic therapies to offer a rounded way of working that considers mind and body.
She trained initially in health science and complementary therapies and spent twenty years practising as a holistic therapist. That history shapes how she approaches conversations about stress, anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
Clare aims to listen without judgement and to help people find their own solutions at a gentle pace. Clare has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, including survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She also supports those dealing with grief, eating difficulties, anger and intimacy-related worries.
Her sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and building practical ways forward. Her style is warm and straightforward. She uses person-centred ways of working so sessions are led by the client's concerns and pace.
Clare combines this with practical ideas drawn from her holistic background when clients want them. People who choose Clare often want an empathetic counsellor who will stay with them through hard moments. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
Booking starts with an online matching questionnaire and then scheduling to suit the client.
Person-Centred listening and online support
Person-Centred Therapy is built around attentive listening and respect for the client's own goals. The therapist mirrors what the client says, offers understanding and helps the client find their own way forward. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship worries and grief.Clare's holistic background can also bring in practical, body-focused ideas when clients ask for them. These are offered as optional tools to complement person-centred conversations, and they may help when stress or eating concerns affect day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs and preferences. That means sessions can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
