Clare Millichap

Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years of practical experience supporting people through difficult times. Based in the United Kingdom, she works only with clients who live in the UK. Clare offers a calm, compassionate manner and aims to help people feel heard and understood.

She helps people deal with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. Clare also supports those facing relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, difficulties with intimacy, and issues around self-esteem. She has additional focus on areas such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Clare uses an integrative approach that draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She describes her style as client-led and relational, and she takes a trauma-informed stance when it is needed. Clare can also offer counselling from a Christian perspective for those who want it, while welcoming people of all backgrounds and identities.

Clare is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She explains things plainly in sessions, offering steady presence and straightforward reflections to help people make sense of their experience and notice what they want to change.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to Clare’s availability by selecting the Start Therapy button.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Clare works in an integrative way, blending practical methods chosen to fit each person. One common approach she uses focuses on understanding how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions - this helps with attachment difficulties, abandonment issues and patterns in relationships. Another strand addresses trauma in a paced, trauma-informed way that aims to help people make sense of distressing experiences and reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare listens to what matters to the client, discusses options, and then adapts techniques to match their goals and preferences. Together they plan steps that feel manageable and relevant to the person’s situation.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that feels better for the client. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use these options to help people keep therapy practical and consistent with day-to-day routines.
