John Clare, NCPS

John Clare is a person-centred counsellor who offers online therapy to people looking for a calm, non-judgemental space to be heard and understood. He works from values of empathy and respect and focuses on what matters to each person in the moment. John holds NCPS, which is shown as his listed credential.

He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem using a listening-centred approach. He also supports those coping with trauma, grief, identity questions, and intimacy-related issues. Sessions aim to help clients reconnect with their values and find practical ways to manage emotional overwhelm.

John combines clinical practice with work in a Social, Emotional and Mental Health primary school. That role involves creative and movement-based approaches with children, and it has shaped his practical, down-to-earth way of working with adults too. His experience in education and social care informs how he responds to emotional expression and regulation.

People can bring a wide range of concerns to therapy, including relationship and family matters, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Additional topics he lists include attachment and body-image concerns, ageing and bereavement, and kink and alternative sex culture.

John has three years of experience and works in the United Kingdom. He conducts sessions in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, users choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and showing genuine respect for each person's experience. In practice this means the counsellor creates space for you to tell your story, reflects what you say and helps you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship-related questions.

John also draws on insights from his work in a Social, Emotional and Mental Health primary school. That background brings practical attention to emotional regulation and creative ways of expressing feelings, which can help when processing trauma or strong emotions in sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with you to test what feels helpful and adapt the sessions to your goals and preferences. You can expect discussions about what you want from therapy and adjustments as you go.

The exact session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help those who prefer not to use video for every meeting, for example choosing a shorter audio session when that suits the moment.
