Ways of working Clare names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Person-Centred counselling works online

Clare practices Person-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the client's lead and offers empathic listening and honest reflections. This approach suits people who want a space to be heard and to make their own decisions about change. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues.

Her holistic background means she may also pay attention to bodily sensations and lifestyle factors alongside talking. That perspective can be useful for people coping with trauma, abuse, eating concerns or stress, where physical and emotional experiences are linked.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Clare will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will help decide which approach or mix of ideas fits best. The plan can change as people learn more about what helps them.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, need brief check-ins, or want a more flexible way to fit therapy around their day. These options make it easier to access registered or accredited professionals from different locations and to fit therapy into busy lives.
