Wendy Clare, BACP

Wendy Clare is a BACP-registered counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling to manage stress, anxiety or depression and helps them find practical coping techniques that fit their life. Many clients come to her when facing big life changes or difficult decisions and want a calm space to think things through.

Her work often addresses grief and bereavement, where she helps people sit with loss and find ways to move forward. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, anger, problems at work, addictions and questions about self-esteem. Wendy has experience with ADHD-related issues and with concerns more common in midlife, including career shifts and feelings of emptiness.

Wendy practices using client-centred approaches that focus on listening and understanding each person’s experience. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and take practical steps towards change. Sessions are conversational and aim to build solutions that feel realistic for everyday life.

She treats people with respect and sensitivity and encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. Wendy believes deciding to seek support is a positive first step, and she aims to be a steady presence while clients work out what matters next.

For anyone interested in working together, Wendy asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. If you need clarity on session formats, please confirm the options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy is about being heard and understood. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person work out what matters most. This approach is useful for people coping with grief, anxiety, relationship concerns or uncertainty about life direction.

Motivational interviewing focuses on building motivation and planning small steps toward change. It uses straightforward questions and reflective listening to help clients notice their own reasons for change, which can be helpful for issues like addictions, career decisions and managing low motivation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and will adjust the way sessions run as understanding grows. Clients and the counsellor explore what feels most helpful together.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, for example by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that better match their daily schedule.
