About Clare
Clare Millichap is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 20 years of practice. She works with adults facing anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as codependency and low self-worth. Clare also supports people dealing with ADHD, intimacy-related problems, sleeping or eating difficulties, and life transitions.
Clare describes counselling as a place to be heard and understood. She offers sessions from a Christian perspective for those who want it, and welcomes people of all backgrounds and identities. Her approach is client-led and relational, focusing on respectful, trauma-informed conversation rather than directive instruction.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. She helps people notice how past attachments and experiences shape present reactions. Work can include talking through painful memories, testing new ways of responding, and practicing practical steps to manage stress and strong feelings.
Clare draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each person's needs. She aims to keep things straightforward and practical, with attention to emotions, thinking patterns and relationship habits. People who value calm, steady guidance and clear, gentle honesty may find her approach helpful.
She sees only clients who live in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling
Clare commonly works with relational and trauma-informed methods. Relational work focuses on how past and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour, helping people notice patterns like people-pleasing or withdrawing. Trauma-informed techniques pay attention to safety, pacing and building the capacity to manage strong emotions after distressing experiences.She also draws on evidence-based techniques that address thinking and behaviour, such as practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. These approaches focus on small, repeatable steps a person can practise between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build steadier routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Clare collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that suit their style, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is done together rather than prescribed up front.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone avoid being on camera if that feels better for them. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use online ways of working to help clients build new patterns and cope with daily life.
