About Clare
Clare Millichap is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of practice. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and parenting pressures. Clare also works with people dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.
She uses an integrative, client-led method that draws on several evidence-based techniques. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult feelings, and finding practical ways to cope day to day. Clare describes her work as relational and trauma-informed, so she pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns.
Clare offers the option to include a Christian perspective when requested, and she welcomes people of all backgrounds and beliefs. She sees only people who are currently living in the United Kingdom. Sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Typical themes in her work include family problems, parenting strain, abandonment and attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation, and issues around shame or isolation. Clare also supports people with eating and sleeping difficulties and practical life concerns such as money and purpose.
Her style is steady and direct. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people try small changes between meetings. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session using the site’s online buttons.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Clare draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques to help people manage distress and make practical changes. One commonly used approach focuses on recognising patterns that link past experiences with present reactions. This helps when someone struggles with attachment wounds, abandonment fears or repeated relational problems. Another approach emphasises skills for regulating strong emotions and managing anxiety day to day, with simple exercises to use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to agree which methods feel most helpful, adapting what she uses to match the person's goals and circumstances. The choice of techniques evolves as progress and priorities become clearer.
The site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking so sessions can be scheduled in a way that fits everyday life. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered here, so confirm the available session types before arranging a first meeting. Online work can make appointments easier to fit around family and work, keep check-ins shorter when needed, or allow speaking without needing travel time.
