About Clare

Clare OHare works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She holds a degree in integrative counselling and has three years of professional experience. Clare aims to make the start of therapy straightforward and respectful for people who are feeling unsure or overwhelmed.

Clare has supported people facing career pressures, anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence issues. She also helps with stress, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, parenting pressures, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work with LGBT concerns and adults managing ADHD-related challenges. Her approach adapts to each person rather than using a single fixed method. Clare and the client agree a plan together that fits the person’s priorities and day-to-day life.

She keeps language plain and practical and focuses on small, achievable steps. Sessions can include talking through specific problems, building coping strategies, and trying new ways of handling stressful situations. Clare emphasises non-judgement and genuine respect in every conversation.

She encourages people to set realistic goals and to review progress at a steady pace. Clare works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make fitting support into a busy life easier. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Clare practises integrative counselling, which means she draws on a range of evidence-based techniques to match a person’s needs. Integrative counselling often combines talking therapies, practical strategies and skills training to help with anxiety, depression and confidence issues.

She also emphasises goal-focused work that looks at specific changes someone wants to make. This can include short-term techniques to manage stress or sleep, practical exercises to build confidence, and coaching-style conversations to sort out career worries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare will talk through options and agree with the client what to try first, then adapt the plan as progress is reviewed. This helps ensure sessions reflect the client’s goals, pace and preferences rather than following a fixed script.

Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can choose what suits them. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules and varied routines.
