About Clare
Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She offers a steady, calm presence and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Clare welcomes people from all backgrounds and can also offer Christian-perspective counselling if that is wanted.
Clare understands that life brings stress, loss and painful changes. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, abuse, anger, low self-esteem and relationship or family issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing challenges with sleep, eating, intimacy, parenting and sexual identity concerns. Her practice pays attention to how early experiences and attachment affect current relationships and sense of self. Clare works with issues such as abandonment, dissociation, codependency, feelings of emptiness, shame and isolation.
She is also experienced in helping people with autism and Asperger syndrome to make sense of their experiences. Clare uses an integrative, client-led approach. That means she draws on different evidence-based techniques and adapts them to what the person needs.
Sessions focus on building understanding, naming what is happening, and trying practical ways to manage distress between meetings. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Clare works with adults who are living in the UK and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange meetings that work with their schedule.

Online support
Another useful strand focuses on attachment and relational patterns. It looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, and aims to increase understanding and self-compassion when old wounds are triggered. This approach can be helpful for issues like abandonment, codependency, shame and intimacy problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Clare works collaboratively to test what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques to match a person’s goals, preferences and pace. She explains options clearly and checks in about what is working as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone calls suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school runs and family life while keeping contact consistent.
