Julie "Jules" Clare, NCPS

Julie "Jules" Clare is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety and life changes. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy. Jules values each person's strengths and believes people know their story best, so she aims to help clients build confidence and move towards a more fulfilling life.

Jules holds a Diploma in Counselling accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, often shortened to CPCAB. She is an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, listed as MNCPS Accred. Over six years she has worked across higher education and other caring roles, bringing practical experience to sessions.

Her day-to-day approach is warm and down to earth. She trained in Person Centred Therapy and draws on other methods to match a person’s needs, including Solution-Focused techniques, Compassion-Focused ideas and trauma-informed ways of working. She has completed courses on mental health problems, self-harm and bereavement, and has undertaken continuing professional development around autism and ADHD.

In conversations with clients she aims to create an empathic, non-judgemental space. Sessions are intended to be collaborative; she listens, reflects and helps people try new steps between meetings. Jules also offers life coaching elements when that suits someone’s goals.

People who come wanting practical steps, clearer thinking and more emotional steadiness often find this style helpful. Jules encourages gentle challenge and exploration of values so people can regain confidence and find ways to feel more like themselves again.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It involves open listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can help when someone feels stuck, low in confidence, or unsure about their next step.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions in close relationships and personal attachments. It helps people identify patterns in how they react and form new ways of connecting with themselves and others. This can be useful for intimacy concerns, attachment issues and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what they hope to change, then try methods that suit those needs. That makes therapy a joint process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking as current options are not specified here. Many people value online sessions because they can fit appointments into busy days, avoid travel and choose quieter surroundings that help them focus. Some approaches lend themselves to talking and reflection, while somatic or trauma-focused techniques are adapted to work over distance with clear guidance from the therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how particular methods will be used in online sessions when you first meet.
