Clare Herbert , BACP

Clare Herbert is a United Kingdom-based therapist with seven years of professional experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and depression, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients find practical ways forward.

Clare creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and at the client’s own pace. Her approach focuses on building confidence and coping skills while acknowledging the impact of past and present difficulties. She works collaboratively with each person to set realistic goals and to develop strategies that fit their daily life.

Recognising that beginning therapy can take courage, Clare welcomes new clients with empathy and respect. She aims to make the first steps accessible and affirming, helping people feel supported as they move toward greater resilience and clarity.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional processing. One set of approaches helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, teaching skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and everyday stressors. Another strand of her work emphasises trauma-informed methods that support processing difficult or painful experiences at a pace that feels safe, which can be particularly helpful for those facing the effects of abuse or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Clare works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to individual needs, discusses different options, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so goals and techniques remain aligned with the client’s preferences and progress.

Online therapy with Clare is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to receive support without needing to travel. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access consistent care from different locations, while maintaining the one-on-one relationship with a licensed professional.
