Clare OHare, BACP, NCPS

Clare OHare is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who holds a degree in integrative counselling. She has three years of practice helping people manage career difficulties, anxiety and low self-esteem. Clare aims to offer respectful, non-judgemental support so people can take the next step in their lives.

She focuses on practical, person-centred work that is tailored to each individual. Sessions are adapted to what a person needs most, whether that is building confidence, coping with stress, or finding clearer direction at work. Clare uses straightforward tools and conversations to help people understand what gets in the way and try different ways of responding.

Clare has experience supporting people with relationship concerns, grief and trauma-related distress. She also helps with parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems and ADHD-related challenges. Her work covers both day-to-day coping and larger life changes that feel overwhelming.

People can expect a calm, down-to-earth style in sessions. Clare listens carefully and works with each person to set realistic goals and small steps forward. She aims to keep sessions simple and focused so progress feels manageable.

Therapy is planned around what a person wants to achieve. Clare will discuss options, agree on practical tasks between sessions, and adjust the plan as needs change. She values patience and steady progress over quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy helps

Clare practises integrative counselling, which blends techniques to suit each person rather than following a single method. This approach helps when someone needs a mix of practical coping skills and reflective conversation to understand patterns and try new ways of responding.

She also uses person-centred principles that focus on listening, empathy and working at the client's pace. That way of working supports people who want a collaborative space to explore feelings, build self-esteem and make decisions about work or relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will talk through options and decide together which techniques fit best with a person's goals and preferences. She adapts plans over time if something isn't working or priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can fit into a break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, short coaching-style support or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and busy days.
