About Clare
Clare Bridgman is an integrative counsellor with the NCPS and four years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addiction, loss and grief. Clare also lists young adult issues among her areas of focus, so she is familiar with pressures faced in early adulthood.
Clare uses an integrative approach, drawing on different evidence-based methods to suit the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and practical. The aim is to identify what feels most pressing and then test straightforward ways of addressing it.
People often come for help with stress, relationship strain, problems with substance use, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. Clare also supports people dealing with attachment worries, body image, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of separation or infidelity. She talks through these topics in a calm, direct way and helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck.
Her work includes looking at communication problems, blended family dynamics, and life purpose questions. Clare pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and choices. She blends short-term practical tools with space to process difficult emotions.
Sessions are conducted in English and Clare does not take international clients. Before booking, users should confirm the current session formats offered. To begin, Clare asks people to use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Clare uses evidence-based approaches online
Clare works from an integrative base, blending different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit individual needs. One common strand is cognitive-style work that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping. This suits issues like anxiety, low mood and stress.Another useful approach she may use focuses on attachment and relational patterns. That kind of work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people change repeating dynamics in friendships and romantic relationships. It can be helpful for loneliness, communication problems and relationship fallout such as separation or infidelity.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. Clare will work collaboratively to identify which approaches feel practical and acceptable. She will check in on goals and adjust methods as sessions progress so the work remains relevant to the client's life and priorities.
