About Clare

Clare Herbert is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Clare aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

She focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling. Sessions are intended to be practical and straightforward, so conversations often centre on real-life challenges and small steps forward.

Background and approach

Over seven years Clare has worked with people coping with loss, low motivation and the emotional effects of traumatic experiences. She uses approaches that are grounded in research to help clients build coping strategies and restore a sense of control. The emphasis is on clear goals and gradual progress rather than quick fixes.

Her way of working involves listening closely and helping people find what works for them. Clare encourages practical exercises between sessions and honest discussion about what feels helpful. She supports people to try different ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings.

Taking that first step can feel hard, and Clare acknowledges the courage it takes to begin. She guides people through the early stages of therapy and helps them shape a plan that fits their needs and pace.

What Clare works with

Everything Clare lists, in their own terms.

How Clare works online

Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach involves structured, goal-oriented work that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more helpful ones; this is useful for anxiety and low mood. Another approach centres on stabilising responses after trauma and abuse, teaching grounding and coping strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which techniques to try first. She encourages regular review so the plan can be adjusted as needs change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or longer sessions when more time is useful. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can work effectively online and will help match approach and format to what suits a person best.
