John Clare

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a person-centred therapist offering online therapy for anyone seeking a space to feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for each person’s unique life experience. I offer a calm, creative, and non-judgemental space to explore whatever feels most present—whether that’s anxiety, grief, trauma, identity, or simply the sense that something needs to shift.

Alongside my online practice, I work in an SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) primary school, where I support children through creative and movement-based approaches to therapy. This ongoing work with children continues to deepen my understanding of emotional expression, regulation, and relational safety—insights that often enrich my work with adult clients too.

I offer a reflective and supportive space to:

Navigate anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or emotional overwhelm

Process experiences of trauma, grief, or disconnection

Explore relational patterns and how early life experiences shape the present

Reconnect with your values, motivation, and inner voice

Find clarity and support through life transitions, uncertainty, or burnout.

My work is rooted in person-centred values of deep listening, and a belief in your inner capacity for growth. My background includes extensive experience in education, social care, and community settings, which informs my relational, down-to-earth way of working.

Online therapy allows you to access sessions from the comfort and familiarity of your own space. Whether you’re seeking support with a specific issue or want to explore your inner world more deeply, I offer a warm, non-judgemental presence.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether talking with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most situations.

A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to maintain continuity during transitions.

Sessions are delivered by licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed clients can switch therapists at any time. Whether someone is seeking focused support for a specific issue or wants to explore their inner world more deeply, online therapy offers an accessible option for many people.
