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 combines her counselling work with a long background in holistic therapies and a degree in Health Science with Complementary Therapies. Clare offers a calm, steady presence for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Her sessions start with listening. Clare gives space for people to tell their story at their own pace and follows what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She aims to help clients notice what gets in the way of change and to find practical steps forward. Clare commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also works with those affected by trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault, and with concerns about eating, intimacy and relationships.
Her practice attends to how mind and body affect one another, reflecting her holistic background. She describes her style as warm, honest and non-judgemental. Clare encourages small, manageable changes rather than sudden fixes.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace. People who prefer a gentle, person-centred approach often find her helpful. Clare offers a steady, practical way through difficult feelings while recognising the whole person.

Approaches Clare lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Her holistic background informs her online work too. Clare pays attention to how stress affects the body as well as the mind and encourages small, practical steps that people can use between sessions. This can be useful for clients recovering from trauma, domestic violence or long-term worry.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clare will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try ways of working that suit them. She adapts pacing, communication style and tools to fit what the client needs rather than applying one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls help recreate a face-to-face feel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and messaging or chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into different routines and locations.
