About John
John Clare is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of practice. He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, trauma, depression and relationship and family issues. Sessions are offered in English and his practice is based in the United Kingdom.
He uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on listening and reflecting rather than directing. People bring what matters most to them and the conversation follows at a pace that feels manageable. The counsellor aims to help people name what they are feeling and notice patterns that keep problems repeating.
John draws on experience from education and social care, and he currently works in a Social, Emotional and Mental Health primary school. That work influences how he supports emotional expression and regulation, often using creative or movement-based ideas alongside talking. He brings that practical background into sessions with adults when helpful.
Sessions typically look like a regular conversation with time set aside to reflect, name feelings and try small, practical steps between meetings. He helps people think about relationships, parenting stresses, grief, addiction concerns, sleep and eating issues, and changes such as bereavement or career shifts. The focus is on simple, clear steps rather than complex jargon.

How Client-Centred practice works for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy centres the client in the conversation. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what the client says, helping them notice feelings and patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship questions, grief and general emotional overwhelm.John also draws on his school and social care experience. That background brings practical ways to support emotional expression, including creative or movement-based ideas he has used with children and adapted for adults. These methods can help when words feel hard to find or when embodied stress needs addressing.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and try different approaches based on the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape the focus and pace of sessions.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, remove travel time and allow people to join from familiar surroundings. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and flexibility around timing to suit work or family commitments.
