About Clare

Clare Herbert helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self esteem and depression through talking therapies that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She works with individuals to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Sessions concentrate on clarifying immediate problems and exploring the feelings that sit behind them. Clare uses straightforward conversation, reflective listening and practical coping strategies to help people find clearer ways of handling day-to-day pressures.

Over seven years she has supported people through loss and trauma, helped reduce persistent anxiety, and worked to rebuild confidence and motivation. Her approach balances talking about past experiences with steps that improve current functioning. She aims to make sessions clear and manageable for people who are anxious or overwhelmed.

Clare also helps people who are coping with depression by breaking issues into small, achievable tasks and by gently reviewing patterns that maintain low mood. She explains options and works collaboratively so people can try different ways of coping and see what fits best for them.

To begin, Clare asks people to describe what they want to change and what matters to them now. Sessions are paced to the individual's needs, and she encourages practical follow-up between meetings to build on the work done in sessions.

How Clare works with evidence-based techniques online

Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing distress and improving daily functioning. One common approach emphasises clear, structured conversations that identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety or low mood; this helps people try small, manageable changes to their routines. Another approach she uses centres on processing difficult experiences and emotions related to trauma and loss by carefully talking through what happened and the feelings it brings up; this can reduce the intensity of those memories over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She discusses options in early sessions, listens to what feels most helpful, and adapts methods to match a client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular review so methods can be changed if they do not fit.

The practical benefits of online sessions should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep to shorter check-ins when needed. If you are considering remote work, check which session formats are offered and consider how scheduling and quieter surroundings would fit with your life.
