About Claire
BACP. Four years' experience. Claire Latham works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self esteem and coping with life changes using a client-centred way of counselling. She also focuses on communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and self-love.
Claire describes her practice as a place to talk through what is happening now. She lets the client lead sessions and responds to what comes up. Sessions aim to help people notice their feelings, say what matters to them and find clearer ways to cope.
In practical terms she offers straightforward techniques alongside open conversation. That can include grounding or calming exercises to ease acute distress and moments of panic. It also means looking at patterns in relationships and communication to help people express themselves more clearly.
Claire has four years' experience working with these concerns. She uses the principles of Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's experience at the centre of the work. This approach is suitable for people facing loss, life changes, low self-worth or persistent anxiety.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online counselling options button.
People considering counselling with Claire are encouraged to confirm current session formats before booking, so they understand how the practical arrangements will work for them.
How Claire applies client-centred work to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy is grounded in listening and following the person's concerns. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and supports the person to find their own perspective. This approach is commonly used for issues like grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and adjusting to life changes.The counsellor focuses on the person's experience rather than directing the session. That makes it straightforward to adapt the way of working to online formats, and Claire will discuss which ways of working feel most helpful. She works collaboratively with the person to agree goals, pace and what to try in sessions.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to attend a shorter check-in when needed, or to choose a less bandwidth-heavy option if video is difficult. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
