Clare Bridgman, NCPS

Clare Bridgman is a qualified integrative therapist with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on a range of difficulties and aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Clare uses an integrative style that draws on different therapeutic ideas to suit each person she sees.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with addictions, low self-esteem and relationship problems. Clare pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns and the challenges that come with blended family arrangements.

Other areas Clare addresses include body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and problems with drug and alcohol use. She also helps people who feel empty or isolated and those questioning life purpose or facing a midlife crisis. Guilt, shame, infidelity and the work of forgiveness are also part of her caseload.

Clare describes her room as a calm and accepting place to talk things through. She aims to match the approach to the person rather than use a single method for everyone. Conversations focus on practical steps and on understanding feelings and patterns that make life harder.

Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom. Clare holds the NCPS credential. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online work that fit your life

Clare practises an integrative way of working, which means she blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit the person in front of her. This might include approaches that focus on understanding cycles of thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and depression, and methods that look at past attachment experiences to improve current relationships and self-esteem.

These ways of working are practical and aim to help people notice patterns, make small changes and build new responses to difficult feelings. Clare will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the approach as therapy progresses, making decisions together based on the person's goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose a quieter time without needing to leave work or home. Clare will talk through which format will best meet a person's needs when arranging sessions.
