About Wendy

Wendy Clare is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works mainly with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and life changes. Her practice also covers relationship concerns, addiction, self-esteem and career questions.

Wendy uses client-centred methods and motivational interviewing to help people talk through difficult decisions. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on finding practical coping techniques that fit everyday life. She aims to be respectful and sensitive in her work.

Many people come because they are unsure of direction, facing bereavement, or dealing with a difficult separation. Wendy spends time clarifying priorities and practical next steps. Conversations often include small, manageable actions to try between meetings.

She also supports people with anger, panic attacks, feelings of emptiness and issues around commitment and communication. Work can include looking at career pressures, midlife concerns and the particular stresses faced by first responders.

Wendy explains what each approach involves and invites people to decide what feels most useful. She prefers short, clear sessions that focus on present problems and workable strategies. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than rapid change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

The client-centred approach emphasises the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without judgement, reflecting back what matters and helping the person name their priorities. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings and decide what feels right for them.

Motivational interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons for change. It uses targeted questions and reflective listening to resolve ambivalence and build motivation. This method is often useful for behaviour change, addictions and situations where decisions feel hard.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options with each person and together they will decide which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the pace and focus of sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. They also allow conversations to continue when in-person meetings are difficult, while keeping practical arrangements straightforward for everyday schedules.
