About Clare
Clare Millichap is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with more than 20 years of experience. She supports people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-worth, grief, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English for clients resident in the UK.
Clare describes counselling as a place to be heard and to work through things that feel overwhelming or stuck. She offers counselling from a Christian perspective if wanted, and also welcomes people from all other backgrounds and identities. Her practice emphasises a relational, client-led way of working that pays attention to trauma responses.
Her approach is integrative, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to respond to the issue in front of the person. In sessions she focuses on listening, exploring how problems affect day-to-day life, and helping people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. People bring issues such as anger, sleep or eating problems, difficulties with intimacy, or feelings of isolation.
Clare works with additional concerns like attachment and abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, dissociation, codependency, and personality-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with money worries, career decisions, and questions about life purpose. Her long experience includes helping those managing the ongoing effects of abuse and trauma.
Fees vary with location and sessions are provided using a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Clare does not take international clients; she works only with people currently living in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Clare works in an integrative way, using evidence-based techniques to address the issues people bring. One common approach she uses focuses on understanding how past events and attachment patterns affect current feelings and reactions. This helps when anger or trust issues are tied to earlier experiences.Another strand is trauma-informed work that helps a person recognise and manage bodily reactions and triggers. That can be useful for people who notice sudden anger, dissociation, or strong shame responses after difficult events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Clare aims to identify, with the client, which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She will suggest practical steps and check in regularly to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from wherever is most practical. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when that suits a person better.
