About Wendy

Wendy Clare is a United Kingdom counsellor with 12 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people who are struggling to manage everyday pressures and more intense difficulties. Many who reach out mention stress, anxiety and panic attacks, and she helps them find coping ways that fit their life.

Wendy uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the heart of sessions. She listens without judgement and helps people spot what matters most to them. Conversations aim to make sense of choices and feelings, and to build practical steps forward.

She also supports people through bereavement and grief, as well as with relationship concerns, self-esteem and career questions. Issues such as addiction, anger, isolation and midlife changes are included in her work. She offers a calm and respectful space to talk through difficult decisions and uncertain futures.

Motivational Interviewing is used alongside a person-centred style when people want help to change habits or make firm decisions. That approach focuses on what matters to the person and their own reasons for change. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.

Wendy aims to help people find small, sustainable steps rather than quick fixes. She encourages practical coping tools and clearer thinking about next steps. The first meeting is used to understand priorities and plan the way forward together.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Wendy draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening, non-judgemental space where the person sets the agenda. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk through anxiety, grief or relationship worries and to clarify what matters to them.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people who want to change habits or make tough decisions. That method focuses on the person's own reasons for change and supports small, achievable steps rather than pressure to act immediately.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss goals and preferences during early sessions and adapt her style to what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family or travel, and reducing time spent getting to appointments. If you need shorter check-ins or prefer not to be on camera, these are options to discuss. Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
