John Clare
Person-centred counsellor offering online support
About John
John Clare offers person-centred counselling online. He aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and better understand what is happening for them. Sessions are straightforward and focused on the person in front of him rather than on jargon or labels.
He uses Client-Centred Therapy to guide conversations. That means listening closely and responding with empathy so people feel safe to say what matters. This approach can help when anxiety, depression, grief or trauma make day-to-day life harder.
Background and approach
John has three years of professional experience. He also works in a primary school that supports social, emotional and mental health needs. That school work involves creative and movement-based activities which shape how he notices emotional expression and regulation.
He often helps people dealing with stress, parenting challenges, relationships, sexuality and identity questions, addiction concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career uncertainty. He also supports responses to long-term illness, caregiver strain, and complex issues such as attachment or neurodiversity-related concerns. John holds NCPS as a listed credential.
He practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Online session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule sessions.

Person-centred therapy online and what to expect
John primarily uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and respecting each person's experience. This approach helps people who are feeling anxious, low, stuck after loss or finding it hard to trust their own thoughts and feelings.His school-based work with children using creative and movement-based methods informs how he notices body-based emotion and expression in sessions. These practical insights can be brought into online conversations to help with trauma, regulation and emotional awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to agree what feels useful, adjusting methods to match your goals and preferences. Together you will try ways of working and see what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing reflections or when a written format fits daily life better. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and travel.
