Wendy Clare, BACP

Wendy Clare is a UK counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people through difficult transitions. She works with clients who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also helps those coping with grief and bereavement and with concerns such as addiction and anger.

Wendy follows a person-centred approach that focuses on each person’s experience. Sessions are built around the client's needs and pace, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want practical help to make changes and move forward.

Many clients come because they feel stuck or unsure which next step to take. Wendy talks through decisions and explores small, manageable steps that match a person’s values. She also supports people working on self-esteem, career decisions, relationship problems and communication issues.

People living with panic or chronic anxiety, or navigating midlife and separation, often find it useful to have a steady space to talk things over. Wendy brings patience and respect to each session and treats every person as an individual. Her work is aimed at helping people find practical coping strategies and clearer direction.

Her practice covers additional concerns such as ageing and geriatric issues, first responder stress, infidelity, loneliness and life purpose. The first meeting usually focuses on what matters most now and on agreeing realistic next steps together.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Wendy works from a person-centred stance, which means sessions focus on the person's priorities and perspective. The counsellor listens attentively, reflects what is said and supports the client to find their own solutions. This approach helps people who need a safe space to talk and to make sense of strong emotions or confusing choices.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when clients are aiming to change behaviours or improve habits. This method involves exploring what matters to the client, weighing options and building motivation for practical steps forward. It suits goals like cutting down addictive behaviours, improving routines or moving through life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Wendy will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and realistic.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a session that fits around work or family commitments.
