About Clare

Clare Middleton trained in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her counselling work. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and challenges such as depression and addictions. Clare aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

She encourages small, practical steps and clear goals so progress feels manageable. Clare listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as codependent behaviours or difficulty setting boundaries, and she helps clients notice alternatives. Sessions focus on what feels urgent now and what will improve day-to-day life.

Clare works collaboratively and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. She supports people navigating parenting strain, career pressure, body image and self-esteem concerns. She also helps with trauma-related issues and addiction recovery, attending to both emotion and everyday coping skills.

Her practice includes support for those exploring intimacy issues, communication problems and the impact of attachment or abandonment experiences. Clare pays attention to practical strategies for sleep, eating and managing anger alongside emotional work.

Clare is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers sessions in English. International clients may be supported; readers should confirm current session options when booking. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s situation. One common focus is on emotion-focused work that helps people identify and sit with strong feelings like grief, shame or anger, and then develop healthier ways to respond. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, trauma reactions and intimacy issues.

She also draws on practical, skills-based methods that teach stress management, sleep strategies, and coping tools for cravings or compulsive behaviours. These techniques aim to reduce distress in daily life and make emotional change easier to maintain.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Clare will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and past experiences and then try different methods to see what fits. The focus is on collaboration and adjusting the work as needs change.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It also allows people living elsewhere to access a registered BACP professional in the United Kingdom.
