About John

John Clare is a client-centered therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers online therapy for people seeking a calm, attentive space to be heard and understood. With three years of practice and the NCPS credential, he brings a warm, non-judgemental presence and a commitment to empathy, authenticity, and respect for each person's experience. His work focuses on listening deeply to what feels most present, whether that is anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, identity questions, or the strain of life transitions and burnout.

Alongside his online practice, John works in an SEMH primary school, supporting children through creative and movement-based approaches to therapy. That ongoing work with young people informs his understanding of emotional expression, regulation, and relational safety, and often enriches the way he supports adult clients. He offers a reflective space to explore relational patterns, early life experiences, self-esteem, and motivation, helping clients reconnect with values and find clarity.

Rooted in client-centered values and informed by experience in education, social care, and community settings, John adopts a down-to-earth, relational style. He provides flexible online options for those seeking support with specific issues or a deeper exploration of their inner world. NCPS denotes his professional credential in counselling and psychotherapy.

Client-Centered Support and Creative Online Therapy



John Clare works from a client-centered framework, which emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance, and collaboration. This approach helps clients explore their feelings and values at their own pace and is often effective for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship patterns, and life transitions.

He also integrates creative and movement-based methods drawn from his work in an SEMH primary school. These approaches use non-verbal expression and gentle activity to support emotional regulation and discover new ways of processing feelings, which can be helpful for trauma, grief, and children or adults who find talk therapy alone difficult.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and John works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine what fits best. He tailors his work to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with John is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from home or other familiar spaces while maintaining continuity of care with a dedicated therapist.
