Clare Rose, BACP

Clare Rose is a BACP-registered counsellor who aims to support people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She welcomes clients who are dealing with grief, low self-esteem, life changes or trauma and helps them talk through what feels most urgent. Clare uses a calm, non-judgemental style so people can feel heard and start to make practical changes.

Clare believes people often know what they need deep down and that counselling can help make that clearer. She combines approaches that suit each person rather than following a single method. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving communication and building small steps that reduce worry and increase confidence.

Her background includes five years of practice working directly with people on issues such as compulsive behaviours, childhood trauma, and intimacy-related worries. Clare also supports people managing parenting stresses, fertility concerns and the strain of blended family dynamics. She draws on trauma-focused and attachment-based work when past hurt affects current relationships.

In sessions she uses client-centred listening alongside practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused exercises. This mix helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviours and review what works. Clare keeps language simple and offers direct tools as well as space to reflect.

Starting therapy with Clare typically involves a short intake to identify goals and priorities. People who meet with her often leave with clearer next steps and tools to use between sessions. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers work in English.

How Clare’s approaches work for online therapy

Clare often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness. This approach helps when jealousy, commitment issues or repeating relationship patterns cause distress, and it focuses on understanding emotional responses rather than blaming.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT gives straightforward strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking, and it can be used alongside more reflective work on past experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Clare will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and may shift over time as priorities change.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy while living in another country, as Clare accepts international clients. Practical benefits include easier scheduling around work or childcare and being able to use written exercises between meetings to track progress.
