About John

John Clare is a person-centred counsellor who offers online therapy for people seeking a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. He works from empathy and authenticity, listening to what matters most and helping clients find their own path forward.

He commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps with grief, trauma, identity questions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the strain of parenting. His work includes attention to sleep and eating difficulties, addiction and coping with life changes.

John brings three years of experience and a background in education, social care and community work. He also works in a primary school that focuses on social, emotional and mental health. That school work has shaped his practical approach to emotional expression and regulation.

Sessions follow person-centred values - deep listening, acceptance and gentle reflection. Conversations aim to help people reconnect with their values, understand patterns from early life, and make clear, manageable steps in daily life. Meetings can be creative or movement-informed when that fits a person’s needs.

He holds NCPS as a credential. Sessions are provided in English and are based in the United Kingdom. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening, acceptance and reflecting back what a person is saying. It helps when someone wants to be heard and make sense of feelings like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. Sessions aim to create clarity and support personal choices rather than giving direct advice.

John uses a warm, down-to-earth style to explore what is most present for each person. Together they will consider which ways of working suit the issue and the person’s preferences. Finding the right approach is collaborative and may change as needs and goals evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer not to use video.
