Clare Payne works from a humanistic, client-centred perspective so each session is shaped by how a client is on the day and what feels most important to them. She explores recurring themes, stuck points and patterns in life while also helping clients focus on where they would like to be.
Clare trained in Integrative Counselling and Coaching, gaining a Postgraduate Diploma from the University of East London, and earlier completed courses in Person-Centred Counselling and Life Coaching. That training gives her the flexibility to support a wide range of clients and concerns.
Her starting point is always person-centred - she aims to create a safe, supportive space where clients set the pace and bring what matters to them. As the relationship develops, Clare may draw on approaches such as CBT, NLP or Coaching to help clients set and work towards their own goals.
With 4 years of experience, Clare offers 45-minute sessions. The first few meetings focus on understanding what has brought a client to therapy, clarifying what they hope to gain and checking whether the working relationship feels like a good fit.

Clare looks forward to meeting clients and supporting them on their journey.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
All therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and it is possible to switch therapists if a different fit is preferred. Online therapy offers an alternative route to support without changing the core goals and practices of therapeutic work.
