About Clare

Counsellor Clare OHare is a UK practitioner and a member of BACP and NCPS with three years' experience working with people facing career problems, anxiety, low self-esteem and related issues. Clare holds a degree in integrative counselling and has worked with a range of clients in the United Kingdom. She uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people make changes they want.

Clare aims to create clear, straightforward sessions that focus on what is happening now and what can be done next. She talks through goals with each person and adapts the way they work together as those goals shift. Sessions tend to centre on skills you can practise between meetings and on making small, manageable steps.

Her experience includes work on relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people with sleeping problems, parenting strain, ADHD, stress and coping with life changes. Clare includes coaching-style conversations where helpful to support practical problem solving around careers and daily routines.

Clare describes herself as non-judgemental and respectful in her approach. She will discuss a plan for therapy with each person and invite feedback about what is or is not helpful. The focus is on clear communication and realistic expectations.

To begin, Clare asks people to use the site matching process and schedule a first session so you can see how you get on together. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Clare uses and how online counselling works

Clare trained in integrative counselling, which blends conversational counselling with practical techniques. This approach means sessions focus on the person in front of her and draw on different ways of working as needed. It helps with worries like anxiety, low self-esteem and everyday stress.

She also uses coaching-style methods alongside counselling. That involves setting short-term goals, making action plans and checking progress between sessions. It is often useful for career questions and for practical coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and agree how to proceed. That conversation is a collaborative decision about what to try first and when to adjust the plan.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also offer options that do not require being on camera or that use less bandwidth, depending on what the person prefers and what is available.
