Clare Bridgman

Clare Bridgman is an integrative counsellor with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and problems with addiction. Clare meets adults and couples and also works with younger people who are seeking support.

Clare uses a flexible approach that draws on different evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on understanding what feels most pressing and on practical ways to manage difficult feelings. Conversations often cover relationships, family strain, life purpose and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She pays attention to patterns that come from past attachment and abandonment experiences, and to how those patterns show up in current relationships. Clare also supports people dealing with communication problems, separation and infidelity, and with the practical ripple effects of drug and alcohol problems.

Work in sessions can include talking through recent events, looking at how past experiences shape reactions, and developing simple steps to try between meetings. Clare aims to help people notice small changes that reduce stress and make daily life feel steadier.

If you are thinking about starting, Clare asks people to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Clare adapts evidence-based approaches to online work

Clare describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet different needs. For example, she may use cognitive approaches to help people spot and change patterns of anxious or self-critical thinking. These approaches can help with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem by teaching simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts.

She also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, exploring how early experiences influence current connections. This relational focus helps when people struggle with feelings of abandonment, isolation or recurring conflict in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare will discuss different options with each person and agree on what to try based on their goals, life circumstances and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses so that sessions remain relevant and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so people should confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online sessions useful because they can fit meetings into busy schedules, avoid travel time and choose quieter times during the week. Others appreciate shorter check-ins when days are full, or sessions that do not require being on camera. Clare will work with each person to find a way of meeting that suits their everyday life.
