About Clare

Clare Millichap is a BACP-registered counsellor with over 20 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She works from the United Kingdom and offers a calm, welcoming space for people to talk things through. Clare aims to help people regain clarity and strength when life feels overwhelming.

She listens without judgment and works at a pace set by the client. Clare uses an integrative approach, drawing on different evidence-based techniques to suit individual needs.

Background and approach

She describes her style as client-led and relational, with an emphasis on understanding how past experiences affect present feelings. Clare can support people with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, sleeping and eating difficulties, and parenting challenges.

Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, dissociation, isolation and issues around life purpose and money. Sessions can be offered from a Christian perspective when wanted, and Clare welcomes people of all beliefs and identities. She works with LGBT concerns and can help those navigating neurodiversity issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Her aim is to help people feel heard, validated and better able to move forward. People who meet her often mention her calm presence and gentle honesty. Clare seeks to walk alongside clients as they process experience and begin to make sense of things, supporting change at a pace that feels right for each person.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Clare lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Clare works integratively, using evidence-based techniques that focus on relationships and past experience. One common approach she uses helps people trace patterns from earlier relationships to how they feel and behave now. This can be useful for attachment worries, repeated relationship difficulties, or feelings of abandonment.

She also draws on trauma-informed ways of working that aim to keep conversations gentle and paced to the person’s readiness. This approach supports those coping with traumatic events, dissociation or overwhelming memories by emphasising safety, grounding and gradual progress.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Clare will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their goals, needs and preferences. The choice of approach is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different practical needs. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions suit people who need something quicker or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or a flexible way to keep in touch between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
