Clare Middleton
Gentle, practical support for everyday challenges
About Clare
Clare Middleton trained and practised in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide how she works with people. Clare focuses on helping individuals who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief and loss, and a wide range of other concerns.
Clare aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. She builds a non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She encourages small, manageable steps and practical ways to cope. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people feel heard and understood. Her work covers a broad set of issues, including depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and difficulties with eating or sleeping.
Clare also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career uncertainty, self-esteem problems, and major life changes. She pays attention to attachment and family background when these are relevant. Clare also helps with more specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family tensions, and caregiver stress.
She can discuss codependency, communication and control issues, and challenges around cancer and long-term illness. Her practice addresses both emotional reactions and practical coping strategies. Sessions are offered in English and Clare accepts international clients.
People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with practical actions to manage everyday difficulties.

Sessions & fees
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on understanding attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and intimacy. Both approaches involve talking through problems, trying new strategies, and reviewing what helps.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Clare will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals, needs and preferences. She adapts the approach as the work progresses so sessions remain relevant and useful.
Online therapy with Clare is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
