Clare OHare, BACP, NCPS

Clare OHare is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds a degree in integrative counselling and is listed with BACP and NCPS. Clare has three years of experience supporting people with common life challenges. She focuses on practical concerns such as career difficulties, anxiety and low self-esteem. Clare also works with issues around relationships, grief, trauma and parenting strain. She aims to treat everyone with respect and without judgement. Clare uses an integrative approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques to suit each person. She tailors the plan to fit individual needs rather than following a single rigid method. Sessions are shaped around what the client finds most helpful. Her style is straightforward and warm. Clare encourages people to take small steps and builds on what is already working in their lives. She aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone new to therapy. Starting therapy is described as a brave step, and Clare supports people through those early moments. The focus is on practical change as well as understanding feelings. If you want a counsellor who adapts to your needs, Clare offers a collaborative way of working.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Clare uses an integrative set of evidence-based techniques, blending methods to match the person in front of her. One approach focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding and simple behavioural changes to reduce overwhelm. Another strand emphasises building self-esteem and confidence through small achievable goals and reflective exercises that help people notice progress. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Clare works collaboratively with clients to test what helps and adjusts the plan as needs and goals change. That means the approach can shift if something proves more or less useful for the individual. The practical advantages of online therapy depend on how sessions are offered, so please confirm formats before booking. Many people find remote work fits more easily around busy days, saves travel time and makes it simpler to keep regular sessions. For some, phone-only options can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or energy is limited, while other formats suit a deeper face-to-face style of conversation. Clare will help you choose a way of working that fits your schedule and needs.
