About Clare
Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained after two decades working as a holistic therapist and combines that background with counselling to support people struggling with distressing life events. Clare brings a whole-person outlook that considers mind, body and spirit.
Her earlier qualifications include a degree in Health Science with Complementary Therapies and certificates in aromatherapy, Reiki and crystal therapy.
Background and approach
She uses that experience to inform sessions while working within a counsellor-led, person-centred framework. She has seven years' experience in counselling. People come to Clare for help with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and intimacy-related concerns.
She also supports those coping with grief, eating difficulties, relationship strains and LGBT issues. Clare has a particular focus on survivors of domestic violence, including physical, mental, emotional, sexual and historic abuse, and on sexual assault and abuse.
In practice she offers a steady, empathic presence and aims to create space for clients to be heard and to make their own choices about change. Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. Sessions invite open conversation, reflective listening and gradual work through painful memories or current problems.
Clare encourages practical steps that fit each person’s life and pace.

How Clare works online
Clare's wider holistic background means she pays attention to how body and emotional habits connect. That perspective can help when working through trauma, grief or issues linked to eating and intimacy. It supports a gentle, paced exploration rather than pushing for quick solutions.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work itself. Clare will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to the client's aims and preferences. This is done together, so the plan can change as progress is made.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online or remote formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can often tailor how sessions are run to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or a preference for voice-only contact.
