Clare Herbert
Compassionate, practical help for emotional challenges
About Clare
Clare Herbert works from an evidence-based counselling perspective to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She introduces straightforward ways to talk about difficult feelings and to build small, practical habits that make a difference day to day. Clare is based in the United Kingdom and brings seven years of professional experience to her practice.
Clare aims to create an open and non-judgemental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear.
Background and approach
Conversations are kept focused and practical, with time spent on what is happening now and what can be done next. She encourages clear goals and gentle steps rather than sudden change. When people come with grief or loss Clare listens for what each person needs in the moment.
With anxiety and stress she works on ways to reduce overwhelming thoughts and to strengthen coping skills. For trauma and abuse the approach is careful and paced to match each person’s readiness. Clare also supports people working on confidence and motivation by helping them set realistic aims and notice small wins along the way.
She explains ideas simply and keeps techniques usable between sessions. Sessions are planned collaboratively so the work fits into everyday life. Taking the first step can feel hard and Clare acknowledges that courage.
She helps clients get started, working at a pace that feels manageable while aiming for real shifts in how people think and feel.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Clare uses evidence-based techniques that are explained in clear, practical terms. One approach focuses on building coping skills for anxiety and stress through short exercises and behavioural changes that can be practised between sessions. Another approach concentrates on paced processing for trauma and abuse, where the conversation is guided gently and steps are taken at a pace the client can manage.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clare will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the client involved in decisions about how the therapy proceeds.
Online therapy makes these methods more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and keep a close conversational rhythm. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit brief check-ins into a busy day or allow a slower paced exchange over time. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and other commitments while still allowing regular, structured support from registered or accredited professionals.
