About Clare
Clare Millichap is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. Clare offers counselling from a Christian perspective when requested and sees clients who live in the UK.
Clare talks through what feels most pressing and helps people find manageable ways to cope. She uses an integrative, client-led approach that draws on a range of therapeutic models. Her way of working emphasises a relational, trauma-informed stance and adapting methods to the person in front of her.
Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding patterns that keep problems going. Clare helps people look at attachment and relationship dynamics, abandonment or codependency concerns, and issues linked to Autism and Asperger Syndrome. She also addresses anger, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges around identity and sexuality for LGBT clients.
Her background means she is used to supporting people with a wide mix of issues such as ADHD, avoidant or dependent personality traits, dissociation, emptiness, shame, jealousy and money worries. Clare also works with parents who want support around parenting stress and family problems.
People who value reflective, steady conversation will find Clare’s sessions straightforward and focused on what can change next. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Clare uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Clare works integratively, combining approaches that suit the person’s needs. One common strand is trauma-informed counselling, which focuses on understanding how past distress affects current feelings and relationships and on pacing work so it feels manageable. Another strand draws on relational methods that look at how attachment and interaction patterns shape difficulties such as abandonment, codependency or relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the methods as the sessions progress so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only if video feels too intense, or have shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing for remote sessions so the practical focus of counselling carries across screens.
