Clarice Pilikian is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem and depression. She works in a calm, listening way and focuses on helping people rebuild a kinder relationship with themselves. She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person speaking at the heart of each session.

Sessions are based on careful listening and reflection rather than directive advice. This helps people who feel stuck to notice patterns and make small, manageable changes.

Background and approach

Clarice also draws on solution-focused ideas to pinpoint practical steps and short-term goals. That can be useful for people who want clear actions to try between sessions, or who need a faster way to break unhelpful cycles. Her background includes eight years working in counselling roles in the United Kingdom.

She has experience supporting people with caregiver stress, codependency, eating and food-related issues, shame, guilt and the effects of discrimination. Clarice also works with hoarding, isolation, narcissism-related difficulties, self-love and women's issues. Sessions can address workplace pressure and problems connected to visual impairment.

She aims to create space to understand what a person is carrying and to help them find practical steps forward. The tone in sessions is warm and non-judgemental, and the focus is usually on what the client wants to change. People start by sharing what matters most to them and then clarify small goals together.

Clarice supports clients as they try things differently, reflects back what she notices, and helps people build new ways of coping over time.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. The counsellor reflects what they hear and helps the person understand their feelings and choices, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression and self-esteem struggles.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear short-term goals. It is useful when someone wants focused changes and actions to try between sessions, such as managing stress or tackling codependent patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt the balance of listening and action to suit each person's needs, goals and preferences. This work is collaborative and shaped by what the individual wants to get from therapy.

Online sessions can be held by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation and allow face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter setting or less data is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer to type rather than speak. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caring duties or mobility needs and make it easier to attend from different locations.
