Wendy Clare

Wendy Clare is a UK counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often working with people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. Wendy helps clients talk things through and find coping techniques that fit their daily life.

Her practice also covers relationship difficulties, grief and loss, career questions and challenges around motivation and addictive behaviours. People uncertain about life direction or facing big decisions come to her to sort out priorities and next steps. Isolation and loneliness are among the concerns she addresses, alongside issues such as panic attacks and low self-esteem.

Wendy uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows each person's lead. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons and energy to make changes. Sessions focus on practical choices and small steps as well as understanding feelings.

Her manner is respectful and down-to-earth. Wendy aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood without judgement. She works collaboratively, helping clients set realistic goals and review progress over time.

To begin, she recommends a straightforward first conversation to clarify needs and aims. This helps decide whether to continue together and what kind of pace or focus will help most.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy is about being heard and accepted. The counsellor focuses on understanding each person's thoughts and feelings and follows their lead to decide what matters most. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of emotions, grief or life changes.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses curious, respectful questioning to uncover what matters to the client and to build motivation for small practical steps. This can be useful for issues such as addictions, career decisions or commitment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, reduce the need to spend time travelling, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and tools to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth connections or a preference for audio rather than video.
