About Clare
Counsellor (BACP), 4 years' experience. Clare Payne helps people with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting concerns and LGBT-related matters. She also works with career questions, self-esteem, trauma and complications such as compassion fatigue and fertility-related stress.
Clare uses a humanistic, client-centred approach. Sessions are guided by what feels most important to the person on the day. Early sessions focus on understanding why someone has sought counselling and what they want to achieve, and on checking whether the working relationship feels like a good fit.
Over time Clare may draw on different methods to match a person’s goals. She practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic Therapy. This means she can help people notice recurring patterns, consider attachment and relationship dynamics, and work practically towards chosen values and steps.
Clare trained in Integrative Counselling and Coaching and holds a Postgraduate Diploma from the University of East London. Her background includes Person-Centred Counselling and Life Coaching, which informs a flexible, conversational style.
Sessions typically last 45 minutes and the first few focus on assessment and goal-setting. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary by location. To begin, people use the platform’s matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Clare’s approaches shape online work
Clare uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them. ACT often helps with anxiety, low mood and situations where someone feels stuck by worry or avoidance.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current trust, communication and intimacy. This can be useful when people notice recurring problems in close relationships or struggles with closeness and distance.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Clare will discuss options and adapt methods to fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than using one fixed method from the start.
