About Clare
Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with adults living in the United Kingdom. Clare aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk openly about what feels hard to bear.
She offers help for common concerns such as anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
Clare also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-worth, anger, sleep or eating problems, and the effects of life changes. She tailors the work to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her way of working is integrative and client-led.
Clare draws on a range of evidence-based techniques and focuses on the relationship in the room. She describes her style as calm, compassionate and gently honest, and she places importance on listening closely to each person's story.
Clare can include faith perspectives where helpful, offering counselling from a Christian viewpoint for those who request it, while welcoming people of all backgrounds and identities. Sessions are offered in English and are arranged to suit the practical needs of the person seeking support. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Clare supports people to move at their own pace and to find clearer ways forward from feelings of overwhelm, stuckness or isolation.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Clare uses integrative, evidence-based techniques that are adapted for remote work. One commonly used approach focuses on trauma-informed listening and pacing - this means careful attention to a person's experience, gradual steps through difficult material, and practical ways to manage distress between sessions. It can help with anxiety, past abuse and overwhelming memories.Another frequent element is problem-focused work that looks at thoughts, behaviours and daily routines. This helps people tackle stress, low mood, sleep or eating difficulties by trying small, manageable changes and noticing what makes a difference. These methods are practical and aimed at everyday life improvements.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Clare treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss options with each person, try different ways of working, and adapt the plan based on needs, goals and preferences. The method chosen can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls permit face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit those who prefer writing or who want flexible, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life while maintaining continuity of care.
