Clare has been very accommodating. The time difference is a big factor to me responding to messages. However Clare is really great about responding when she can and even if I have yet to schedule another session. She will respond via messages. Feedback when I send journals/complete worksheets have timely. Clare has been very respectful of my concerns.
More about Clare
- 5 years' experience

- BACP
I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), and I abide by their code of ethics and professional standards.
I came to counselling through my work as an Holistic Therapist of 20 years, I hold a degree in Health Science with Complementary Therapies in addition to qualifications in Aromatherapy, Reiki and Crystal Therapy and I like to be able to offer my clients an holistic approach, through mind, body and spirit, as each effects the other.
I have a private practice and have clients with eating disorders, relationship issues, bereavement among others but I specialise in counselling survivors of Domestic Abuse (physical, mental, emotional, sexual and historic).
Being with my clients, as they have journeyed through some difficult situations, showing them empathy and honesty, has supported them to break through some their obstacles to a happier more fulfilled life and future.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have done some therapy before but Clare is one of a kind. Her skills and experience makes it seem like she has an almost magical way of hearing and perceiving exactly what I’m trying to say even when I can’t explain it very well. I’m making some of the most progress I have in years and my quality of life is getting better and better thanks to her thorough listening and guidance of what homework I can do to help me. She really understands the needs I have in the moment as well as the oversight for how I can grow long term and I’m very grateful to have found a therapist I can hold this much confidence in.
In the last year I have been looking for a therapist with whom I can feel at ease and who is very involved in my therapeutic process. I believe that Clare is an empathetic therapist, involved and concerned with finding solutions with me that will make me feel better. My deeply painful experience was completely understood by Clare who I feel does not judge me and validates my emotions. Finally, after a long time, I feel more engaged and feel my valid emotions. Thank you!
Clare has helped me with many issues I have only praise for her thank you clare
Very insightful, approachable and calming and did me a GREAT deal of good!
Clare is just amazing. Just seems to magically sort out my muddled brain. Offers relevant work sheets and information. I couldn't ask for more.
Very nice lady so pleased she is my counceller
I came to therapy with Clare after trusting my intuition and I’m so so pleased I did! She has been fantastic & has helped me understand myself so much better than I ever have before. As well as some great, alternative coping methods, Clare has helped me build a truly holistic tool kit for recovery. I would highly recommend her as a personable, kind & intuitive therapist who real listens. Thanks Clare! You’ve helped me more than you will ever know :)
Clare is immediately warm, empathetic, understanding and relatable. I was able to discuss a traumatic experience without fear of being misunderstood or shame. I would highly recommend her especially for anyone who has been through a difficult life or relationship experience. She will get you through it.
