About Clare

Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred counsellor who brings seven years of counselling experience and a broader background in holistic therapies. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Clare blends a practical focus with calm presence to help people through difficult times.

She trained originally in health science and complementary therapies and spent two decades working as a holistic therapist. That experience shapes how she listens and responds.

Background and approach

Clare pays attention to the ways thoughts, physical sensations and emotions interact and she uses that awareness in sessions. Clare works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. She also supports people affected by trauma and abuse, and has a particular focus on survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and abuse.

She helps people talk through painful experiences and find steps forward. Her approach is rooted in Person-Centred care. That means she aims to offer genuine empathy, respect and honesty while following each person at their pace.

Sessions are conversational and shaped around what the client needs in the moment. People who come to Clare often want a therapist who listens without judgement and helps them make sense of difficult feelings. She offers a calm space to reflect, plan small changes and practise new ways of coping.

Ways of working Clare names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-Centred care and online therapy options

Clare uses Person-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to what the client brings. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings such as grief, anxiety or the effects of trauma without being told what to do.

Her holistic background informs the way sessions attend to emotions, bodily sensations and daily routines. That can be useful for people coping with stress, relationship difficulties or the after-effects of abuse who want a broad, gentle way to work through challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare collaborates with each person to choose what feels most helpful, adjusting style and pace as needs or goals change. She treats therapy as a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break, while chat or messaging can suit those who prefer writing or want brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life or travel, and allow continuity when meeting in person is difficult.
