Kate Clare, BACP

Kate Clare helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger and depression. She also supports those living with ADHD and a wide range of related issues. Kate is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member (MBACP) with five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom.

She approaches therapy from the view that the person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on listening and building on strengths. Kate aims to make space for what matters most to each client and to work at a pace that feels manageable.

Her work draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change patterns. Narrative ideas are used to look at how problems are described and to open up new storylines. Client-centred principles keep the person at the heart of decisions about goals and direction.

Kate has professional experience with neurodiversity and brings that understanding into conversations about routine, sensory needs and communication. She also offers support around attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and practical communication difficulties.

Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short form to book according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches useful for online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the client's perspective and choices, giving space to talk and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs empathetic listening and clear collaboration about goals.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.

Narrative therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves and their problems, and it helps create alternative ways of describing difficult experiences. This can be useful for issues like identity, shame and relationship difficulties.

Finding the most useful approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to suit practical constraints and preferred ways of communicating.
