Clarice Pilikian , BACP

Clarice Pilikian is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She draws on an empathic, client-led style to help people feel heard and to find practical steps forward. Clarice works in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom.

Her approach puts the person at the centre of each session. She listens and reflects what she hears so people can better understand their patterns and choices. Sessions aim to rebuild a healthier relationship with the self and to support clearer boundaries and kinder self-talk.

Clarice uses client-centred counselling alongside solution-focused work. That blend supports people who want to talk through painful feelings, and those who want short-term, goal-orientated change. It can be used for day-to-day stress, workplace pressure, addictive behaviours, or ongoing low mood.

She also pays attention to issues that often sit alongside the main concern. Examples include caregiver stress, codependency, eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace problems. Clarice is mindful of the particular pressures faced by women and by people with visual impairment.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Clarice helps people spot small steps that make a difference and checks in on how those steps are working. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, and to help people build skills they can keep using afterwards.

How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online

Clarice uses client-centred therapy to place the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. That approach means she listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with emotional issues like low self-esteem, depression and relationship pain.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, concrete steps people can take between sessions. This practical strand works well for problems such as stress, workplace pressure and addictive behaviours where clear goals and short plans can make a difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clarice will collaborate with each person to decide whether to emphasise listening and exploration or short-term solutions. The plan can change as needs and goals evolve, and she checks in regularly to make sure the approach fits.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs with different formats for different moments.
