Clarice Pilikian, BACP

Clarice Pilikian offers a person-centred way of working that places the client's experience at the heart of each session. She is a BACP member and draws on eight years of practice to help people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual, with space to talk about painful memories or current pressures.

Her approach focuses on listening and reflecting rather than giving direct instructions. That helps people notice patterns, such as codependency or difficulties setting boundaries. Clarice pays particular attention to issues like caregiver stress, hoarding, eating and food-related problems, and feelings of guilt or shame.

She also supports people dealing with isolation, workplace difficulties, prejudice and discrimination, and concerns linked to being visually impaired. Many clients work on rebuilding self-love and addressing the impact of narcissistic behaviour in others. Sessions aim to help people find practical steps that fit their life and values.

Clarice uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her practice. That means she listens closely, mirrors what she hears, and helps clients identify small, achievable changes. Over time this can shift how people relate to themselves and to others.

Her work is described plainly and without judgement. People can expect a calm, attentive approach that centres their priorities and supports them in making meaningful changes.

Using Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the person feel understood so they can explore painful feelings and hard memories at their own pace. This approach is often useful for people wanting to rebuild self-esteem or understand patterns like codependency.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and on what is already working. It encourages setting clear, achievable goals and noticing progress between sessions, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety and workplace issues.

Finding the right style is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach, or combination of approaches, feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and practical needs guide that decision rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quick check-ins when needed. They can also be adapted to quieter check-ins or goal-focused conversations when people prefer shorter or more targeted sessions.
