Clare Johns Counselling
Exhausted from carrying everyone else’s needs?
Support for women and parents carrying too much for too long.
You spend so much of your life making sure everyone else is okay.
You’re the one everyone depends on.
The one who keeps the family running.
And somewhere along the way…
You started running on empty.
You deserve a space where someone is finally here for you.

Hi, I’m Clare.
I know how easy it is to put everyone else’s needs before your own.
As a wife, mum to two energetic boys, and counsellor, I understand the emotional load that so many women quietly carry every day. The endless juggle of family life, the pressure to keep everything together, and the feeling that everyone needs something from you.
My counselling style is warm, compassionate and down-to-earth.
I won’t judge you or tell you what you should do.
Instead, I’ll offer you something that’s often hard to find—a calm, supportive space where you can finally exhale.
Together we’ll make sense of what you’re experiencing, reconnect with your strengths and help you move forward with greater confidence and self-compassion.
I can support you with:
🌿 Overwhelm and burnout
🌿 Parenting and neurodivergent family life
🌿 Life transitions and loss
🌿 Caring for everyone else while forgetting yourself
You deserve support too.
You don’t have to have all the answers before reaching out.
Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply allow someone to walk alongside us.
I created Clare Johns Counselling to offer something many women rarely experience…
A space where you don’t have to hold everything together.

Many people say, “I don’t even know where to start…” when trying to explain what’s going on for them. At times, it can feel overwhelming to make sense of your thoughts and emotions, let alone put them into words. You might not be able to point to anything clearly “wrong” in your life, yet still feel that something isn’t quite right. At other times, challenges across different areas of life can build up and begin to feel unmanageable. This can lead to pressure, stress, and uncertainty about what to do next.
How do I know if I need counselling?
Life can be challenging, especially when situations feel overwhelming, distressing, or outside your control. While talking to friends or family can help, it doesn’t always provide the clarity or direction you need. Counselling offers a supportive space where you don’t have to work things out on your own.
Counselling supports you to identify and work through concerns that may include current challenges or past experiences affecting your thoughts, feelings, or behaviour.
Often, it’s not just one issue causing distress, but a combination of factors that leave you feeling unsettled or overwhelmed. You may be struggling with how you see yourself, your relationships, or the direction your life is taking.
