About Clare
Clare Middleton trained and practises in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Clare presents as calm and direct and aims to make early contact straightforward for someone under stress.
Clare helps people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, and issues around relationships and family life. She also supports people facing problems with addiction, eating or sleeping, intimacy and self‑esteem, and those managing major life changes.
How Clare works
Clare works with additional concerns such as attachment, adoption and foster care dynamics, and caregiving strain. Her practice focuses on building an open space for honest conversation. Clare listens without judgment and helps people name what is most difficult.
Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs, with time given to both understanding problems and trying small steps for change. Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to the concern at hand. She collaborates with people to find approaches that feel manageable and relevant.
The aim is to empower people to cope better day to day and to make choices that suit their values. Clare offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.

How Clare's approaches translate to online therapy
Clare draws on well‑established therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and developing workable coping skills. One approach centres on exploring thoughts and feelings to spot unhelpful patterns and try small behaviour changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach helps people process grief, trauma or relationship hurts by naming difficult emotions and practising different ways of relating and responding.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face contact for deeper conversations, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check‑ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work and other commitments while keeping the focus on useful, evidence‑based work.
