Wendy Clare, BACP

Wendy Clare is a UK counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people through difficult transitions and emotional strain. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, helping them find practical ways to cope and decide on next steps.

Wendy uses a person-centred style that focuses on the person rather than labels. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each individual. She listens for what matters to you and helps you find your own solutions rather than telling you what to do.

Clients often come when they feel lost, overwhelmed by decisions, or struggling after a bereavement. Wendy will sit with those hard feelings and help you explore what matters, and which small changes could make life easier. She also supports people dealing with relationship problems, addiction concerns, anger and self-esteem issues.

Her practice also covers midlife concerns such as questioning life direction, career shifts and feelings of emptiness. Wendy works with people on communication, commitment worries and the particular stresses that affect men and first responders.

Throughout, she draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change. That approach pairs with the person-centred way of working to keep sessions practical and respectful. Getting started is presented as a step-by-step process with support throughout.

How Wendy’s approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a supportive, non-judgemental space and follows the person’s lead to uncover what matters most. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, grief and feeling stuck.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own motivation for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to explore values and goals, which can be useful for issues like addictions, career shifts and midlife decisions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will work with each person to decide which way of working fits their needs and goals. Over the first few sessions she will check in and adapt the style so it stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. It can also mean choosing sessions that suit quieter or lower-bandwidth situations, depending on what works best for you and your routine.
