About Clare

Clare Bridgman is an integrative counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and couples on issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addiction, loss and grief, and relationship problems. Clare uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people clarify what matters to them and what feels stuck.

She sees stress and anxiety as common problems that show up in many parts of life. Clare helps people talk through feelings of isolation, emptiness and shame, and she supports those dealing with drug and alcohol problems. She also works with people facing divorce, blended family strains, and difficult communication patterns.

Clare describes her approach as integrative, which means she draws on different evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than one single model. Sessions focus on what is happening now, patterns from the past that affect the present, and straightforward strategies to try between meetings. Conversations are aimed at clearer thinking, better decision-making, and small steps that can fit into daily life.

She is registered with NCPS and offers therapy in English. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session via the online booking flow.

Clare works with adults and couples and is not accepting international clients. People who struggle with social situations or phobias may find her focus on anxiety and relationships relevant when considering support.

Approaches used in online work and what to expect

Clare describes her practice as integrative and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person's needs. One common approach she uses focuses on understanding current thought and behaviour patterns and trying small practical steps between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another strand addresses relationship patterns and attachment issues by helping clients notice recurring interactions and experiment with clearer communication and boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Clare will work with each client to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps. The early sessions often focus on what feels most pressing and on trying a few simple strategies to see what fits.

The practical benefits of doing this work online include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work or to have meetings when energy is low. The exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking to know how meetings are arranged.
