About John Clare
John Clare is a client-centered therapist who brings a calm, creative, and empathetic presence to online work. He holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional training in counselling, and bases his approach on Client-Centered Therapy - a practice that emphasizes deep listening, authenticity, and respect for each person’s unique experience.
He creates a non-judgemental space for people to explore what feels most present, whether that is anxiety, grief, trauma, questions of identity, or the quiet sense that something needs to shift. His practice is informed by years of work across education, social care, and community settings, which contributes to a relational and down-to-earth style with both children and adults.
Alongside his online work, John supports children in an SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) primary school, using creative and movement-based approaches to therapy. That ongoing practice deepens his understanding of emotional expression, regulation, and relational safety, and those insights often enrich his work with adult clients.
John offers reflective support for managing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, processing trauma or grief, and exploring relational patterns shaped by early life. He also helps people reconnect with values and motivation, and find clarity during life transitions or periods of burnout. Sessions are conducted in English and delivered via online formats, allowing access from familiar environments. He is based in the United Kingdom and is not currently accepting new clients.

Could remote therapy be a good fit for you?
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help.

People can connect with licensed professionals in the way that fits them best: through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That variety makes it easier to arrange therapy around work, family, or other commitments.
Therapists who work online use evidence-informed approaches and bring the same therapeutic values as in-person practice. You can switch therapists if you feel a different fit would better support your needs. Online sessions also make it possible to receive consistent support even when life circumstances make travel or scheduling difficult.
