About Claire
Claire Latham is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem. Her practice also addresses life changes, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, guilt and shame, life purpose and self-love.
Claire uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s concerns at the centre of sessions. She listens without judgement and follows the pace each person prefers. Sessions focus on what is worrying the client now, and on small practical steps to make feelings easier to manage.
In conversation she helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour. That can mean naming where shame or guilt shows up, and looking at the choices available in those moments. She offers straightforward techniques to soothe anxiety and physical stress, as well as space to talk through losses and relationship strain.
Claire encourages people to bring the issues that matter most to them. Together they clarify goals and try out different ways of coping. The emphasis is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
For people uncertain about therapy, she explains the process and what sessions look like before starting. Claire asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire, then to schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Client-centred work and online sessions
Claire’s core method is Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following what the client brings to each session. This approach helps when someone is carrying guilt, shame, grief or confusion about life direction because it keeps the client’s experience central and paced to their needs.She also draws on simple calming and coping techniques during conversations. These are practical tools to reduce bodily tension and make intense feelings easier to sit with, and they can be used alongside talking through difficult memories or decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the way sessions proceed. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Confirm the available session formats before you book, as specific online or in-person options are set at the time of scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into day-to-day life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can offer helpful continuity of care when meeting remotely, and Claire will work with you to arrange sessions that fit around your commitments.
