About Clarice
Clarice Pilikian is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain and codependent patterns. She frames sessions around the person in front of her and aims to help clients build healthier self-relationship and stronger boundaries. Her approach is conversational and reflective, centred on listening and helping people find their own direction.
Clarice draws on a client-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns and sits alongside people as they talk through these links. She offers a gently curious style rather than directive advice, reflecting back what she notices to aid understanding.
She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people set small, practical steps toward clearer goals. This can be useful for people who want to try specific changes between sessions, such as boundary practice or coping strategies for stress and anxiety.
Across her practice she has worked with issues related to addiction, eating and food-related concerns, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Clarice also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, workplace strain, and women's issues, and she has experience with concerns connected to narcissism and prejudice.
Sessions are delivered in English from the United Kingdom and draw on eight years of professional practice as a BACP-registered member. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats offered and consider whether the therapist's style feels like a good match.
How client-centred and solution-focused work translate online
Clarice uses a client-centred approach that places the person's lived experience first. In practice this means she listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people make sense of their feelings and patterns in straightforward language. This approach suits people who want to be heard and understood before they try practical steps.She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set small, concrete goals. That method helps when people want brief, practical changes - for example practising boundaries, reducing anxiety in specific situations, or building routines around self-care.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together. She will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help you decide which methods to emphasise. The choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow appointments during work breaks or between childcare commitments. Others prefer in-person meetings; if that matters, check what is available when you arrange a first session.
