About Wendy
Wendy Clare is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 12 years of experience and works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and a range of life changes.
She has supported people who are facing difficult choices, feeling directionless, or coping with bereavement. Many come seeking ways to manage stress or panic and to find practical coping techniques that fit their life. Wendy uses person-centred ways of working and motivational interviewing to help people consider options and make changes.
Sessions focus on clear steps and on what the person finds most useful. Conversations are straightforward and aim to identify small, workable changes. She listens for what matters and helps people try out different coping strategies in everyday life.
Wendy has worked with clients across many concerns including addiction, self-esteem, anger, career questions and issues linked to ageing. She also offers support around communication problems, commitment concerns, separation and loneliness. Her work includes helping people who experience panic attacks, narcissistic relationships and first responder stresses.
Wendy works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. To begin with she asks people to describe the problem and what they hope to change. That information helps shape the early sessions and set practical goals.
Approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the person reflect on what matters. This approach can help with low mood, self-esteem and feeling stuck.Motivational Interviewing looks at readiness for change. It helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to try new ways of coping. This is useful when someone is uncertain about change or dealing with addictions and behaviour shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss which methods suit the person's needs and goals. She treats this as a collaborative process and will adjust the way she works based on what the person finds helpful.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow more frequent short check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, for example when a phone call is simpler or takes less bandwidth.
