Clare Rose, BACP

Clare uses a mix of client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to support people. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead so that sessions reflect their priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical steps to manage anxiety, low mood or stress.

She also draws on trauma-focused and attachment-based ideas when past hurts affect present relationships. Trauma-focused work helps people make sense of painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact. Attachment-based approaches look at how earlier relationships shape expectations and patterns with others, which can be useful for intimacy or trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. That might mean mixing short-term solution-focused steps with deeper attachment or trauma work over time.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a more conversational format, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, on-the-go contact for short reflections or between-session support. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, parenting and travel.
