About Clara
Clara Bowman is a BACP counsellor who works with adults and young people. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can bring whatever is worrying them. Sessions are paced to each person and guided by what they want to work on.
She focuses on relationship difficulties, anxiety and stress, self-esteem, depression and trauma. Clara also supports people facing life changes, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and concerns linked to neurodiversity and codependency. Her approach aims to help people find clearer thinking and practical ways to cope day to day.
Clara uses a person-centred way of working, which means the session follows the client’s priorities. She listens first and asks questions to help make sense of patterns and feelings. From there she offers simple tools and ways of trying things differently between sessions.
Over six years she has worked with a range of issues often tied to attachment, abandonment and communication struggles. She pays attention to how past experiences show up in present choices and relationships. That can help people spot small changes that make life feel less overwhelming.
Her style is direct but warm, aiming to help people come away with clearer options. Clara encourages practical steps alongside deeper reflection so progress can be felt in daily life.

Practical approaches for online counselling and finding the right fit
Clara uses person-centred work which focuses on the client’s priorities and pace. This approach means sessions are steered by what feels most important to the person, allowing them to guide the conversation and choose where to focus attention.She also draws on evidence-based techniques that help people recognise patterns from past experience and try new responses. These methods can help with relationship patterns, codependency, anxiety and low mood by breaking down problems into manageable steps and testing small changes between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will discuss different ways of working together and agree a plan based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be revisited as therapy continues.
