About Clare
Clare Millichap is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has practised for 20 years in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, stress, depression and grief. Clare also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, low self-worth, relationship and intimacy-related issues and life changes.
Clare describes an integrative, client-led approach. She combines different therapeutic ideas so the work fits the issue a person brings. Sessions are relational and trauma-informed, with the counsellor and client deciding together how to proceed.
People who prefer to include faith in their counselling can choose sessions from a Christian perspective. Clare welcomes clients from any background and identity and aims to listen without judgement. The focus is on being heard and making practical sense of difficult experiences.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond the most common problems. These include ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, family problems, abandonment and attachment issues, codependency and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also addresses money worries, life purpose and recovery from shame or guilt.
Clare offers direct, calm sessions that focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to cope. She helps people spot patterns, make small changes and build steadier routines. The emphasis is on clear steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Clare uses an integrative mix of evidence-based techniques. One common strand is relational work, which focuses on patterns in how people connect with others and how those patterns affect current difficulties. This helps with relationship tensions, attachment struggles and issues that keep repeating.Another strand is trauma-informed practice, which recognises the impact of past harm on present reactions. This approach aims to help people feel steadier, reduce reactivity and find practical ways to manage difficult memories or triggers.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and she regularly checks in about what is helping.
