Compassionate counsellor for life's hard moments
About Clare
Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through difficult times. She is based in the United Kingdom and works only with people currently living in the UK. Clare offers a calm and compassionate presence and aims to create a space where someone can feel heard and understood.
She helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Clare also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, and the practical pressures of money or life changes. Additionally she offers support around more specific struggles such as abandonment and attachment wounds, codependency, dissociation and emptiness, autism and Asperger syndrome, and issues tied to guilt, shame or isolation.
Clare can also work with people exploring identity and LGBT concerns. <brHer way of working is integrative. She draws on different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet each person’s needs. Sessions are client-led and relational, with attention to trauma where relevant.
For anyone who wishes, Clare can include a Christian perspective alongside other approaches. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People connect with her by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Clare draws on a small range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to fit each person. One common strand is relational work, which focuses on how patterns in relationships affect feelings and behaviour and helps people try new ways of relating. Another is trauma-informed practice, which attends to the impact of past hurt and helps people build safety and capacity to manage distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. Clare will listen to your needs, goals and preferences and suggest approaches that suit you. That collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when time and travel are limited. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is needed or when a shorter check-in is required. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing reflection between sessions and flexible ways to check in during a busy week. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life while maintaining continuity with a registered or accredited professional.
