About John

John Clare offers person-centred counselling that focuses on the client’s experience. He creates a calm, creative and non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and understood. Sessions are paced to each person, with emphasis on empathy, authenticity and respect.

He regularly supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and emotional overwhelm. He also helps clients process grief, trauma and feelings of disconnection. Relationship patterns and how early life shapes the present are often a focus in sessions.

John’s background includes work in education, social care and community settings. He currently works in a Social, Emotional and Mental Health primary school, which has informed his skills using movement and creative approaches. Those experiences influence how he understands emotional expression and regulation.

People come to him to reconnect with values, motivation and their inner voice. He also helps when life transitions, uncertainty or burnout make things feel difficult. The room is used to talk through what matters now and to find practical ways forward.

John holds NCPS as a credential and has three years of practice experience. He offers online therapy for people living in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

Client-centred work online and what it can offer

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own direction. This way of working is often helpful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and processing grief or trauma.

John also draws on creative and movement-informed ideas he uses in school work to help people name and express feelings. These elements can support emotional regulation and make it easier to talk about painful experiences or confusing patterns.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then shape sessions to fit those needs. Clients are invited to feedback as the work progresses so the method stays useful and relevant.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school and family life, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from familiar surroundings. It can also suit shorter check-ins when time is limited or a quieter, camera-free conversation when that helps the person engage.
