John Clare , NCPS

John Clare is a person-centred therapist who creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to be heard, understood, and supported. He works online and brings an empathetic, authentic style that honours each person’s individual experience, helping clients to explore anxiety, grief, trauma, identity, and the quieter sense that something needs to shift. His practice emphasises deep listening, respect, and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth.

Alongside his online work, he supports children in an SEMH - Social, Emotional and Mental Health - primary school, using creative and movement-based approaches to help young people express and regulate emotions. That school-based experience informs his understanding of relational safety and emotional expression, and often enriches his work with adults by offering practical, down-to-earth ways to approach change.

John brings three years of experience from education, social care, and community settings to a reflective and supportive therapeutic style. He holds NCPS, a professional counselling and psychotherapy credential that indicates formal training and recognition in the field. He offers a thoughtful space to navigate depression, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship patterns, life transitions, burnout, and other challenges, helping clients reconnect with values, motivation, and their inner voice.

Person-Centred Care and Accessible Online Support

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client’s experience guides the work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is heard, and helps clients explore their feelings and values so they can make meaningful changes - this approach is especially helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship patterns, and life transitions.

In his work with children, John also uses creative and movement-based methods to encourage emotional expression and regulation. These approaches can be useful for clients who find it helpful to work through feelings in embodied or imaginative ways rather than only through talk, and they inform a flexible, relational style with adults as well.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and John collaborates with each client to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Online therapy offers practical benefits - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations. For many people, this flexibility and accessibility make it straightforward to maintain continuity and momentum in therapy with licensed professionals and therapists.
