About Clare

Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through difficult periods. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with clients who live in the UK. Clare aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make sense of what they are going through.

Clare talks plainly and listens closely. She describes her way of working as client-led and relational, meaning sessions follow the person's concerns and pace. She also uses an integrative approach that draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit different needs.

Many people come to Clare with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, relationship strain, sleep and eating difficulties, or questions about identity and purpose. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, compulsive care patterns, dissociation, loneliness, and the aftermath of abuse. Clare can offer counselling from a Christian perspective when requested and welcomes people of all backgrounds.

Sessions focus on helping people feel understood, reduce overwhelm, and build clearer ways to cope. Clare aims to help clients reconnect with themselves and take small, manageable steps forward. Her work emphasises sensitivity, respect and honesty in every session.

If someone wants to begin, Clare asks them to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Clare describes her approach as integrative, drawing on a small number of evidence-based techniques to match what each person needs. One common approach she uses focuses on building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and less overwhelmed; this helps with anxiety, low mood and trauma-related issues. Another approach emphasises practical coping skills and paced problem-solving to manage stress, sleep disruption and daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences. She adapts her methods as someone progresses and invites feedback about what helps and what does not.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also make it simple to meet from a quieter location or to choose a session style that feels less demanding, such as an audio-only check-in if that is preferred.
