Wendy Clare

Wendy Clare is a BACP-accredited counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief and loss and those seeking clearer direction in difficult decisions.

Wendy takes a person-centred approach, which means she works alongside each person to understand what matters to them. Sessions focus on talking through current struggles and finding practical coping strategies that fit everyday life. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

People also come to her for relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem and career-related issues. She has experience with addictions, ADHD and a range of emotional concerns such as panic attacks, isolation and feelings of emptiness. Her work often looks at communication and control issues that affect day-to-day wellbeing.

Wendy draws on motivational interviewing when clients are facing change or making difficult choices. That approach helps people clarify what they want and find steps that feel achievable. Over time she supports clients to build confidence in making and sustaining those changes.

If someone is unsure what to expect, Wendy encourages a first conversation to see how she can help. She focuses on practical next steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Wendy uses person-centred (client-centred) methods that focus on the person rather than a rigid plan. This approach involves listening carefully, helping people name what matters to them, and supporting practical steps that fit their life. It helps when someone feels stuck, anxious or uncertain about a decision.

She also draws on motivational interviewing for people who are ready to change or find new direction. That method uses guided conversation to surface a person’s own reasons for change and to set small, achievable goals. It can be useful for issues like addictions, career shifts or starting new coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Wendy will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt sessions as needed. The work is collaborative, with regular checks to see if adjustments are needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow conversations from a familiar setting. Different formats can also suit practical needs - for example a shorter phone check-in when time is limited or an audio session that avoids the need to be on camera.
