About Clare

Clare Millichap is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of practice. She offers a calm, compassionate approach for people facing anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, trauma and life changes. Clare presents a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and feel heard.

Her work is client-led and relational. Clare draws on a blend of therapeutic models to match each person's needs rather than using a single method.

Background and approach

She places particular attention on trauma and abuse, as well as on stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Clare also helps with more specific difficulties such as ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues. Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment problems, dissociation, codependency and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, jealousy and money worries. Sessions can include straightforward talking, pacing conversations to what feels manageable, and using practical strategies to cope day to day. Clare can also offer counselling from a Christian perspective when requested, and welcomes people of all identities and backgrounds.

She works only with people living in the United Kingdom and runs online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit the client’s schedule.

How Clare uses talking therapies online

Clare works in an integrative way, drawing on established therapeutic techniques to suit each person. One common approach focuses on trauma-aware care - that means gently exploring difficult memories and reactions while helping the person feel grounded and able to manage flashbacks or distress. Another frequent strand is working on stress and anxiety management with practical strategies such as breathing, pacing activities and breaking problems into small steps to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to decide which techniques feel most helpful, and adapts the plan as progress is made. The client’s goals and comfort guide whether sessions stay conversational, include practical exercises, or bring in faith-based perspectives when requested.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video helps keep visual connection for deeper conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life and maintain continuity when travel or schedules change.
