About Clare
Clare Millichap is a counsellor with more than 20 years of experience supporting people through difficult times. She practices in the United Kingdom and meets only people who are currently living in the UK. Clare offers a calm, compassionate approach and can provide counselling from a Christian perspective if requested.
Clare helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, loss and life changes. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, and people dealing with self-esteem, anger, intimacy or relationship worries.
How Clare works
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and questions about identity or purpose. Her method is integrative and client-led. Clare draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs.
She works relationally and in a trauma-informed way, aiming to create a steady, respectful space for exploration. Clare often focuses on underlying patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties caused by abandonment or family problems.
She also addresses concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant or dependent personality traits, and the emotional effects of shame, guilt or isolation. Sessions take place online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Clare uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and tailors sessions to what feels most helpful for each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Clare works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person. She uses integrative methods to suit different problems, pulling together approaches that help with emotion regulation, trauma recovery and building self-understanding. One common strand involves trauma-informed relational work which focuses on safety, pacing and making sense of difficult experiences over time. This helps when past hurt affects present relationships and feelings.Another approach emphasises skills for managing anxiety, stress and day-to-day difficulties. This type of work breaks challenges into small, practical steps such as breathing and grounding exercises, sleep and routine adjustments, and strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Clare collaborates with each person to identify goals and to try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan as people learn what helps and what does not, so the work feels personalised and practical.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact while phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer short, written support between calls and can fit into busy schedules or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and to choose formats that match life commitments.
