About Clare

Clare Millichap works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and a wide range of life difficulties using an integrative, client-led approach. She is a BACP member with 20 years of experience and practices in the United Kingdom.

Clare offers one-to-one counselling for people facing issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and the effects of abuse. She also works with concerns linked to ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, abandonment and attachment issues, dissociation, and personality-related difficulties such as avoidant or dependent traits.

Her style is relational and trauma-informed. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Clare can also offer counselling from a Christian perspective for those who want that element included.

Clare uses techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic practices and adapts them to each person’s situation. She helps people process difficult experiences and develop clearer ways of managing emotions and relationships. The emphasis is on steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

She works exclusively with people who are currently living in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, people select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Clare adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Clare draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques. One common approach is trauma-informed relational work, which focuses on understanding how past distress affects current feelings and relationships and on building safer ways of relating to oneself and others. This approach is useful for people who have experienced abuse, attachment difficulties, dissociation, or ongoing relational problems.

She also uses practical symptom-focused techniques drawn from evidence-based therapies to help with anxiety, sleep and eating problems, and low mood. These give concrete steps to reduce worry, manage daily routines, and improve sleep and appetite without promising quick cures.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Clare will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and which methods feel most helpful, and she will adapt the approach as the work progresses. This is a collaborative decision based on needs, goals and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during breaks. Different formats also suit different practical needs, for example phone sessions can use less internet bandwidth and brief video check-ins can be easier to schedule around work or childcare commitments.
