Alan Clucas, BACP

Alan Clucas works from a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. He believes people know their own stories and that therapy is a space to make sense of them. He encourages small steps and practical choices to move past problems. He holds a BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Alan has worked for 12 years in the United Kingdom. During that time he has supported people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder and major life transitions. He also attends to issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and stress. His work includes helping with relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and career and self-esteem questions.

His style is straightforward and respectful. He draws on client-centred therapy to follow the person’s priorities. He uses Motivational Interviewing to help with change and readiness, and Somatic Therapy to bring attention to the body’s role in feeling and behaviour.

Sessions are a chance to talk through what matters now, set realistic goals, and try out different ways of coping. Alan aims to reduce shame and create workable plans that fit daily life. He supports people as they experiment with change and reflect on progress.

He works from the UK and offers therapy in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches adapt to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and working at their pace. It involves listening carefully and helping people set their own goals, which can make online conversations feel collaborative and directed by the client.

Motivational Interviewing is a practical way to build readiness for change. It uses short, goal-focused dialogues to explore ambivalence and boost commitment, which can suit single-topic sessions or a series of check-ins online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be refined as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow brief check-ins when full sessions are not possible. It can also allow sessions without being on camera, or shorter conversations when that better suits someone’s day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these flexible arrangements to help people keep therapy workable alongside everyday life.
