Clare Herbert, BACP

Clare Herbert is a United Kingdom based therapist with seven years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with clients to build motivation, strengthen confidence, and develop practical coping strategies tailored to each person’s circumstances. Clare holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating membership of a recognised professional body in the UK and training in professional therapeutic practice.

Clare aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Her approach focuses on listening carefully and collaborating with clients to find techniques and insights that fit their goals and daily life. Recognising that starting therapy takes courage, Clare affirms that first step and supports clients as they work toward clearer thinking, healthier habits, and greater emotional resilience. She is experienced in a range of concerns and invites conversation about the most appropriate way to move forward.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Clare draws on evidence-informed, skills-based work that helps people recognise and reframe unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour. These practical techniques are often useful for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood, and they focus on building everyday skills to improve functioning and wellbeing.

She also uses trauma-informed methods that prioritise safety and stability while gently addressing distressing memories and reactions. This kind of work supports people recovering from abuse or other traumatic experiences by pacing the process and reducing overwhelm. For grief and loss Clare offers supportive, process-focused approaches that help individuals make sense of change, manage strong emotions, and gradually restore routines and meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Clare works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy with Clare - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives, improves access for people in different locations, and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care across time zones and schedules.
