About Clare
Clare Middleton is a counsellor who trained and qualified in the UK and has three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. Clare also supports those facing relationship tensions, family conflict and challenges linked to addictions or trauma. She works in English and accepts international clients.
Clare aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about what is worrying them. Sessions are intended to let people make sense of how they feel, identify small changes, and practise new ways of coping. Clare encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than technical language.
Her work covers a wide range of life issues, including work and career pressure, parenting strain, body image and eating concerns, and problems with intimacy or commitment. Clare also offers support around adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment and blended family issues. She brings particular attention to compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
People often come to Clare when facing big life changes such as separation, bereavement, or a health scare like cancer. She also supports those navigating substance and alcohol difficulties and the emotional aftermath of domestic violence. The aim is to help people find clearer choices and steadier routines.
Clare describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. She listens, reflects and helps clients set realistic goals. To begin, Clare asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage feelings and create practical change. One common approach focuses on understanding how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact so people can spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach emphasises talking through relationships and communication patterns to improve connection and reduce ongoing conflict; this can help with relationship tension, commitment concerns and family difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clare will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they decide what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to fit how someone is responding.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example when travel is difficult or time is limited. It can allow shorter check-ins between in-person appointments and make it simpler to join from a different location.
