About John Clare
John Clare is a person-centered therapist who creates a calm, creative, and non-judgemental space for people to explore what feels most pressing in their lives. He works with themes such as anxiety, grief, trauma, identity, and the sense that something needs to shift, listening closely and responding with empathy and authenticity. With three years of professional experience and a background in education, social care, and community settings, he brings a down-to-earth relational approach that values each person’s unique life story.
Alongside his online work, John works in an SEMH primary school where he supports children through creative and movement-based therapy methods. That work deepens his understanding of emotional expression, regulation, and relational safety, and those insights often inform his work with adult clients. He aims to help people navigate anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, relational patterns, life transitions, and burnout by supporting reconnection with values, motivation, and inner voice.
John holds NCPS, a professional credential that indicates formal training and commitment to psychological support. His practice is rooted in person-centered values of deep listening and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth, offering a reflective, supportive space for exploration and change.
