Clare Pruen

Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She brings seven years of counselling experience alongside twenty years working as a holistic therapist. Clare presents a calm, straightforward manner and focuses on meeting people where they are.

She trained in health science with complementary therapies and has additional qualifications in aromatherapy, Reiki and crystal therapy. Clare uses this background to offer a mind-body-spirit perspective when it suits a person. She does not claim that any one route fits everyone, and works alongside each person to find what helps them best.

Clare helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship strain, intimacy concerns and eating difficulties. There is a particular focus on survivors of domestic violence and on people affected by sexual assault and abuse.

Her way of working is grounded in the Person-Centred approach. Sessions aim to give space for what matters most to the person, with empathy and honest feedback where helpful. Clare seeks to build a steady, respectful working relationship rather than push a preset plan.

People who prefer a holistic lens or who want a counsellor attentive to emotional and bodily experience may find her approach useful. Clare welcomes conversations about what someone needs and how counselling might fit into their life.

How a Person-Centred approach works online

Clare practises Person-Centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person's lead. This approach focuses on empathy, acceptance and helping someone find their own solutions. It is often helpful for worries such as anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and grief.

Her holistic background informs conversations about how emotions and bodily experience connect. That perspective can be useful when people want to notice how stress shows up physically as well as emotionally, and to work with both sides in session.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clare will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, adapting topics and pace to a person's needs and goals. She aims to check in together about how therapy is going and to adjust direction as required.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective conversations by video or phone, and Clare can advise on what will suit practical needs and preferences.
