About Clare

Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred Counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has seven years' experience working with people who bring stress, anxiety, depression and anger. Clare also supports those affected by trauma, sexual assault and domestic violence, and she works with relationship, grief, intimacy and eating concerns.

Clare trained originally as a Holistic Therapist and holds a degree in Health Science with Complementary Therapies. She also has qualifications in aromatherapy, Reiki and crystal therapy. These earlier roles inform her counselling style and how she thinks about the connections between mind, body and daily routine.

Her main counselling approach is Person-Centred Therapy. In sessions she listens and reflects, helping people talk through what matters to them. The aim is to help clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour so they can make changes they find useful.

Clare has worked with survivors of domestic abuse, including historic and recent experiences. She also sees people dealing with bereavement, relationship breakdown, eating concerns and ongoing anxiety. Her background gives particular familiarity with the long-term effects of trauma and with rebuilding a sense of control after abusive experiences.

People who choose Clare can expect straightforward conversations and practical focus on daily challenges. She uses her combined experience in counselling and complementary therapies to offer an approach that pays attention to emotions, bodily responses and everyday routines.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the site pathway to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule a first session.

How Clare blends Person-Centred work with online sessions

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience. The therapist listens without directing and reflects what the client says. This approach helps people clarify feelings such as anger, frustration or sadness and spot how those feelings show up in daily life.

Clare's background in holistic therapies also shapes how she thinks about stress and bodily reactions. She pays attention to how physical sensations and daily routines relate to emotional patterns. That can be useful when working with trauma, anger and ongoing stress.

Finding the right way of working is a shared task. Clare will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust the pace and focus accordingly. Together they decide what feels most helpful, whether that means focusing on immediate coping, looking at patterns over time, or attending to how the body reacts to stress.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support or phone-based conversations if they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to offer continuity of care while people manage everyday commitments.
