About Clara
Clara Bowman is a counsellor who focuses on supporting people facing depression, anxiety and relationship struggles. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where each session follows the client’s pace and priorities. Clara pulls on six years of practice to listen, reflect and help people find clearer ways forward.
Clara uses a person-centred approach which means conversations are guided by what the client brings. She aims to help people understand their experiences more clearly and to spot patterns holding them back.
Background and approach
Practical tools and gentle reflection are offered where useful, rather than one-size-fits-all answers. Her work covers a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Clara is familiar with attachment and abandonment issues and helps people look at how these affect current relationships. Clara holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, and works with adults and young people. Sessions can be delivered remotely, and international clients are accepted.
She keeps explanations plain and sessions straightforward to suit those who are worried or short on time. People who choose Clara can expect a steady, compassionate listener who combines empathetic listening with practical ideas. She helps clients explore feelings, make sense of difficult events and try out new ways of coping in their day-to-day life.

Online support
She also uses practical, problem-focused methods to teach coping skills and pacing strategies for stress, sleep or flare-ups of anxiety. These techniques aim to break down problems into manageable steps and to try small, practical changes between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Clara will discuss different ways of working and help clients decide what feels most useful. She adapts techniques over time as goals change and as clients see what works for them.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls support more conversational work and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins, live chat can be useful for focused problem-solving, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
