Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years of experience. She works from the United Kingdom and supports people who are living in the UK. Clare offers a calm, compassionate space for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone.

She helps with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, and trauma and abuse. Clare also supports people facing issues with self-esteem, anger, eating and sleeping, parenting pressures, and intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

She offers help with relationship and family problems and with life transitions. Clare’s work is integrative. She draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person’s needs.

Sessions are client-led and relational, with attention to how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviour. She also offers counselling from a Christian perspective for those who want it, while welcoming people of all backgrounds and identities. Clare has a particular focus on concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Clare speaks English and practises with sensitivity to identity-related matters including LGBT concerns. Her approach aims to help people regain clarity, self-acceptance and resilience at their own pace.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Clare draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques tailored to the person. One common approach she uses focuses on trauma-informed relational work, which looks at how past hurt shapes current feelings and relationships and helps people build safer ways of relating. Another frequent strand is skills-based work for anxiety and stress, teaching practical strategies to manage overwhelming thoughts, regulate emotions and improve sleep and daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Clare collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as the therapeutic relationship develops. This means techniques can change over time depending on what helps most.

Online counselling offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face time for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or those who prefer writing. Across formats, Clare aims to make therapy fit around everyday life and practical constraints while keeping the focus on progress and understanding.
