Wendy Clare is a UK counsellor with 12 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes by listening and working with them to find practical ways forward. She draws on person-centred principles to create a calm, respectful space.

That means the focus stays on the person's own goals and what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual.

Background and approach

Wendy often supports people dealing with grief and bereavement, as well as those trying to manage anger, addictions or panic attacks. She also helps clients who feel stuck about career choices, relationships or life purpose and want clearer direction. Her approach uses straightforward conversation and gentle guidance to identify coping techniques that actually fit a person’s life.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels unsure or conflicted about it. Wendy works with a wide range of concerns including communication problems, commitment worries, isolation and midlife questions. She treats each person with sensitivity and respect, and focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions.

How Wendy’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects what the person says, helps them clarify their concerns, and supports the choices they want to make. This approach is useful for people who need acceptance, a clearer sense of direction, or help building self-worth.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to explore readiness for change. It helps people weigh options, resolve mixed feelings, and commit to practical steps when they are ready. This method can be especially helpful for issues like addictions, making career moves or adjusting to life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative - she helps people test what feels useful and adjusts the plan as things shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat works for real-time typed discussion and messaging is good for shorter, ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy schedules.
