About Clare
Clare Bridgman is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem and addiction, and she lists life purpose among her areas of interest. Clare works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in relationships, work or health.
Clare uses an integrative way of working, combining different evidence-based techniques to suit the problem at hand. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps people talk through difficult feelings and choices. Conversations aim to clarify what feels important now, and to identify small, practical steps forward.
She often supports people dealing with relationship strains, communication problems and separation. Clare also addresses issues connected with abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges and infidelity. For those struggling with substance use she works through drug and alcohol concerns alongside related guilt or shame.
Clare helps people who feel empty or isolated, and she explores body image, forgiveness and the emotional impact of family problems. She uses straightforward discussion and reflective exercises rather than technical jargon. Sessions are paced to suit how someone prefers to work.
People preparing to reassess their career or life direction may find Clare’s focus on life purpose relevant. To begin, her process involves a short matching questionnaire and then arranging an initial session to see how to move forward together.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Clare draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques to address the concerns people bring. One common approach is talking-based work that helps name and unpack thoughts and feelings, useful for anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Another is practical problem-solving and behavioural work, which focuses on small changes and routines to reduce stress and to manage addiction-related patterns.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. Clare will work with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice helps set realistic steps and clear priorities for what to work on together.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats Clare currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. Different formats can also suit lower-bandwidth connections or offer a choice about being on camera, so discussing practical needs at the first appointment helps shape sessions that fit everyday life.
