John Clare

John Clare is a person-centred therapist who offers online therapy for people seeking a space to feel heard, understood and supported. He works from principles of empathy, authenticity and respect for each person’s individual life experience, providing a calm, creative and non-judgemental environment to explore what feels most present - whether that is anxiety, grief, trauma, questions of identity, or a sense that something needs to shift.

Alongside his online practice, John works in an SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) primary school, supporting children through creative and movement-based therapeutic approaches. That ongoing work with children strengthens his understanding of emotional expression, regulation and relational safety - insights he often brings into his work with adult clients.

John offers a reflective and supportive space to navigate anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or emotional overwhelm; to process experiences of trauma, grief or disconnection; to explore relational patterns and how early life shapes the present; and to reconnect with values, motivation and an inner voice. He also supports people seeking clarity during life transitions, uncertainty or burnout.

His practice is rooted in person-centred values of deep listening and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth. His background in education, social care and community settings informs his relational, down-to-earth way of working. John identifies as a male, gay, non-religious and liberal therapist and offers online sessions that can be accessed from the comfort and familiarity of a client’s own space.
