Wendy Clare , BACP

Wendy Clare is an accredited UK counsellor with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She has worked with individuals facing stress, anxiety and depression, guiding them to discover coping techniques that fit their lives and make day-to-day experiences more manageable. Her practice also includes helping people navigate difficult decisions and periods of uncertainty when direction feels unclear, so they can identify what matters and begin to move forward.

Wendy has extensive experience offering support to those dealing with bereavement, grief and loss, acknowledging how deeply those experiences can affect everyday functioning. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and believes in treating everyone equally. As a person-centred counsellor she collaborates with clients to tailor sessions to their unique needs and goals, meeting them where they are and working alongside them to explore change.

Wendy holds accreditation with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her professional membership in a UK counselling body. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she focuses on helping people take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life while supporting longer term progress where needed.

Client-Centred and Motivational Approaches for Online Support

Wendy Clare uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive, non-directive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and guides gently. This approach is useful for people who want to explore their feelings, clarify values and make changes at a pace that feels right for them. Motivational interviewing is used to help clients resolve ambivalence about change by exploring their own motivations and strengthening commitment to goals - it is often helpful for issues where behaviour change is important, such as managing stress or addressing addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time so the work stays relevant and practical for the individual.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible, while still allowing meaningful connection with a licensed professional.
