Clare Pruen , BACP

Clare Pruen is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom who blends clinical counselling with a long history in holistic therapies. She is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and works according to their code of ethics and professional standards. With seven years of counselling experience and twenty years as a holistic therapist, Clare brings a combined perspective that honours both psychological and somatic aspects of wellbeing.

She holds a degree in Health Science with Complementary Therapies and has additional qualifications in aromatherapy, reiki and crystal therapy. These complementary training experiences inform a holistic approach that considers mind, body and spirit as interconnected, and Clare applies that perspective within a counselling setting. Her private practice addresses a range of concerns including eating disorders, relationship problems and bereavement, and she specialises in supporting survivors of domestic abuse across physical, mental, emotional, sexual and historic forms.

Clare’s working style emphasises empathy and honesty. She accompanies people through difficult periods, helping them explore their experiences, identify obstacles and work toward clearer, more satisfying ways of living.

Person-Centred and Holistic Support Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathetic understanding and unconditional positive regard. This approach helps people explore feelings, relationships and identity at their own pace and can be especially helpful for anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.

Clare also brings a holistic-informed perspective from her background in complementary therapies, attending to how emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of wellbeing interact. That perspective can support people who prefer an integrative way of working that acknowledges lifestyle, body awareness and emotional resilience alongside talk-based therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Clare works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations, including international clients. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, respond to changing needs and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical.
