About Clare
Counsellor Clare Millichap is a BACP-registered practitioner with 20 years of experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship worries and trauma. Clare also supports people dealing with self-esteem issues, ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, and intimacy-related problems.
Clare offers person-centred counselling and describes her work as client-led and relational. She uses a trauma-informed approach and draws on a range of methods to suit what a person brings to sessions. For those who request it, she can include counselling from a Christian perspective while working with people of different beliefs and identities.
Sessions focus on listening and making sense of what is happening now and in the past. Clare talks things through with clients, helps identify patterns, and looks at practical ways to manage distress. She aims to help people build clarity, self-acceptance and coping strategies over time.
Her wider areas of interest include attachment and abandonment issues, dissociation, codependency and avoidant personality concerns. Clare also addresses family problems, loneliness, guilt and shame, and money or life-purpose worries when these come up in conversation.
Clare’s style is described as calm and direct. She works at a pace set by each person and pays attention to safety around trauma-related material. People who prefer faith-informed counselling can say so when they first get in touch.
Approaches Clare Uses and how online counselling works
Clare describes her work as integrative, drawing on person-centred and trauma-informed ways of working. Person-centred work involves open listening and helping someone reflect on their thoughts and feelings. It is often used for low mood, self-esteem problems and relationship worries.A trauma-informed approach pays attention to how past hurt affects current coping and relationships. This helps when people bring anxiety linked to past abuse, dissociation, attachment issues or other painful events.
Clare will work with clients to decide which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative - she and the person will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. The approach can change as progress is made or as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or suit people who prefer not to meet in person. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can offer these practical benefits while helping people work through the issues they bring.
