About Clare

Clare Pruen is a Person-Centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, commonly referred to as BACP. She draws on seven years of counselling experience alongside two decades of work in holistic therapies. Clare brings a calm, straightforward manner to sessions and aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by life.

Clare uses a holistic outlook that links mind, body and spirit. She trained in health science with complementary therapies and holds additional qualifications in aromatherapy, Reiki and crystal therapy. This background informs how she listens and responds, but the counselling sessions focus on the client’s own priorities and pace.

People turn to Clare for many concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports people affected by eating issues, anger and intimacy-related difficulties. A notable focus of her work is supporting survivors of domestic violence and of sexual assault and abuse.

Her way of working is grounded in empathy and honesty. Clare aims to be present with clients as they talk through hard experiences and find steps forward. Sessions are person-led and shaped around what each client needs in the moment.

Clare works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for bookings where the subscription can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.

How Clare's Person-Centred Practice Works Online

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client without judgement. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance, and the client is encouraged to lead the pace and topics. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns by allowing people to make sense of their feelings in their own words.

Clare’s holistic background also shapes how she notices physical and emotional connections. While the core work is conversational, she may draw on her knowledge of complementary therapies to suggest ways people notice and manage bodily reactions to stress. That additional perspective aims to support recovery from trauma and to help with eating and intimacy-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clare will work collaboratively to decide what helps most, checking in about goals and preferences and adapting the way she listens and responds. You and the counsellor can review what is working and change course if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work breaks or travel, and some formats may suit quieter conversations or shorter check-ins. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday routines without needing major changes to day-to-day life.
