About Clare

Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred counsellor with seven years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She draws on a long background in holistic therapies and a degree in Health Science with Complementary Therapies. Clare aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk safely about what matters to them.

Clare combines person-centred listening with an understanding of how body and mind interact. Her earlier work as a holistic therapist informs how she pays attention to physical and emotional signals together. She offers help for stress, anxiety and depression, and works with people facing grief or relationship and intimacy concerns.

She has particular experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and people affected by sexual assault and abuse. Clare also works with eating concerns, anger and trauma-related difficulties. Her approach is steady, empathetic and down-to-earth, focusing on what each person needs in the moment.

Sessions are shaped around the client’s pace and priorities. Clare uses open listening and honest feedback to help people notice patterns and make practical changes. She supports LGBT clients and those coping with family pressures.

Clare’s background in holistic practice means she often notices connections between daily routine, coping habits and emotional wellbeing. People who value thoughtful listening and a non-judgemental approach may find her style helpful.

Person-Centred support and online working

Clare uses a Person-Centred Therapy approach which centres on listening, empathy and responding to what each person brings. This method helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and trauma-related difficulties by creating space to explore feelings without pressure.

Her holistic background also means she pays attention to how physical habits and emotional responses interact. While she primarily follows the client’s lead, Clare may reflect patterns back and offer straightforward observations to help people notice what they do and why it matters.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Clare will discuss options with each client and decide together what feels most useful for their situation, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to practical needs rather than applying a fixed method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, making shorter check-ins possible and allowing meetings around work or family commitments. Online conversations can make it easier to maintain continuity of support when routines change, while still focusing on steady, person-centred listening.
