About Clare Payne
Her training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching from the University of East London, and earlier courses in Person-Centred Counselling and Life Coaching. This mix of learning supports a flexible approach that can draw on different methods as the therapeutic relationship develops. Clare may incorporate tools from CBT, NLP or coaching to help clients set and work toward practical aims.
The starting point in Clare’s work is always person-centred, creating a supportive space where the client sets the pace and brings what matters. Sessions are 45 minutes long, and the first meetings concentrate on understanding what has brought someone to therapy and what they hope to gain. Those initial sessions also offer a chance to see if the working relationship feels like a good fit.
Further information about her practice is available at www.clarepaynecounselling.com, and Clare looks forward to supporting people on their journey.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy can help
Clare integrates client-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based work into her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive environment where the client leads the pace and topics, helping with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions. ACT emphasises values based action and mindfulness skills to help people live in ways that matter to them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivational blocks. Attachment-based therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, offering a route to address intimacy, abandonment and family of origin difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Clare works collaboratively to identify what fits best with a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She tailors methods over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or work and allow therapy to continue despite life’s practical constraints.
