About Clare
Clare Herbert is a counsellor who works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Clare aims to create a calm space where clients can talk about what is worrying them.
She focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations rather than clinical jargon. Clare helps people name what they are feeling and find manageable steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be paced to each person so that difficult memories and emotions are explored gently. Clare has experience supporting people after traumatic events and with the effects of abuse. She also helps people process bereavement and cope with loss.
When low motivation or confidence gets in the way, she works on small habits and realistic goals to rebuild momentum. Her approach emphasises listening first and working collaboratively on aims for therapy. Clare explains options clearly and checks in often to make sure the work feels useful.
She encourages people to try small changes between sessions and to review progress as they go. Clare offers appointments in a straightforward way and understands that beginning therapy can feel difficult. She aims to make the first steps as simple as possible and to support people through the early stages of change.

Focus areas and approaches
What Clare works with
Everything Clare lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work Clare does with each person. She will discuss options, try methods collaboratively, and adjust the plan based on how well techniques fit the client's needs and goals. The aim is to find what helps most, not to follow a rigid programme.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are held. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when getting on camera is difficult, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or travel and let people choose what feels most manageable for them.
