Wendy Clare, BACP

Wendy Clare is an accredited UK counsellor with 12 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She has worked with clients from diverse backgrounds who seek help for stress, anxiety and depression, and she often guides people toward practical coping techniques that can ease daily pressures and build resilience.

Many clients come to her during times of change when decisions feel overwhelming or direction seems unclear; Wendy focuses on exploring values and priorities so that change can be approached in a way that feels manageable and meaningful. She also offers support to those coping with bereavement, grief and loss, helping them to process difficult emotions at their own pace.

Wendy practices from a person-centred perspective, which means she works alongside each client to identify individual needs and to shape therapy around what matters most to them. She combines respect, sensitivity and compassion in her work and emphasizes collaboration so clients feel heard and understood. Wendy holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her professional standing within the UK counselling community.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can take courage, and Wendy is committed to supporting clients through those initial steps and beyond as they work toward clearer direction and greater wellbeing.

Client-centred approaches and online support

Wendy uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the work. This approach involves active listening and empathy, helping clients to explore their feelings and priorities so they can make choices that align with their values - it is useful for issues such as stress, low mood and navigating life transitions.

She also draws on motivational interviewing, a collaborative conversation style that helps people strengthen their own motivation to change. This method is practical for clients facing decisions, tackling behaviour change, or wanting clearer commitment to personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Wendy works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt methods as therapy evolves.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from home or work and allow clients to choose the communication style that suits them best.
