John Clare, NCPS

John Clare offers person-centred counselling that prioritises empathy, genuine listening and respect for each person’s experience. He provides an online space where people can feel heard and understood when facing anxiety, grief, trauma or the sense that something needs to change. John uses calm, creative ways to encourage people to find clarity and move forward.

He draws on three years of practical experience across education, social care and community settings. That background informs a down-to-earth style that focuses on what a person is feeling right now. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage stress, low mood, and overwhelm in everyday terms.

John can help people look at how early experiences shape current relationships and self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with identity questions, addiction-related concerns, or complex life changes. Practical goals are explored alongside emotional understanding to make change feel usable.

Work with him can include exploring trauma, processing grief, or developing ways to cope with burnout and compassion fatigue. He is experienced in approaches that support emotional regulation and expression, including creative and movement-based ideas from his school work.

Sessions use a collaborative pace and respect each person’s preferences. His NCPS credential is listed as NCPS. Meetings take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and routines.

Person-centred approaches and online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on accepting, non-judgemental listening and helping people uncover their own solutions. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and when someone feels stuck or unsure of their values. The approach emphasises being heard and understood, and helps build motivation for change.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different ways of exploring feelings until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy here is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, flexible scheduling and people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
