Clare Pruen, BACP

Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She brings seven years' counselling experience and a background of two decades working as a holistic therapist. Clare aims to help people make practical changes by listening without judgement and working at each person's pace.

She trained in health science with complementary therapies and also holds qualifications in aromatherapy, Reiki and crystal therapy. Clare blends those holistic perspectives with person-centred counselling, so sessions often consider emotional, physical and spiritual dimensions together.

Clare has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and anger. She also supports those dealing with eating difficulties, intimacy and relationship concerns, grief, and LGBT issues. A particular focus of her practice is counselling survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault or abuse.

In sessions Clare aims to be present, honest and empathic. She describes her role as accompanying people through difficult times and helping them notice new options. Conversations are shaped by what each person brings and by practical steps that feel achievable.

Her independent practice operates in the United Kingdom and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Person-Centred Work Fits with Online Therapy

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on accepting, non-judgemental listening and on helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor reflects feelings back, asks gentle questions and follows the client’s lead to help clarity and confidence. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and grief because it concentrates on understanding what matters to the individual.

Clare's holistic background adds attention to how emotional, physical and spiritual factors interact. That can mean conversations include practical routines, breath or grounding ideas alongside talk therapy to help with stress, eating difficulties or recovery after abuse. These elements are offered in response to what each person says they need rather than as rules to follow.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will discuss aims, try methods and adapt them with the client. She treats the choice of method as a collaboration based on the person's goals, preferences and circumstances.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules change, while the collaborative nature of Clare's practice means sessions are shaped to suit each person's practical needs.
