Claire Latham

Claire Latham is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes, and also supports people dealing with communication problems, guilt, loneliness and questions about life purpose.

Claire offers straightforward, person-centred sessions where the client leads the topics. She uses everyday language in session and will listen to what is most pressing. She also works on simple, practical techniques that can help calm the body and mind when feelings are intense.

In conversations she takes a gentle, steady approach. The aim is to help people make sense of what has happened and to develop ways of coping that fit their daily life. Sessions include time to reflect on feelings and to try out small steps that may ease stress or improve communication with others.

Claire describes her core method as Client-Centred Therapy. That means she prioritises an accepting, non-directive stance and follows the client’s lead when exploring concerns. She combines this with integrative ideas and short practical tools when they are useful.

People come to Claire for a range of ordinary but heavy problems - bereavement, the end of a relationship, job changes, periods of doubt about direction, and ongoing anxiety. She helps people talk through these difficulties and to find manageable ways to cope day to day.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and pricing varies with location.

Client‑centred practice and remote counselling

Claire works from a Client-Centred perspective, which focuses on following the client’s concerns and reflecting what they say. This approach is useful for people who feel unsure about what to work on because it lets them set the pace and priorities in session.

She combines that stance with simple, practical techniques to help calm the body and manage symptoms of stress and anxiety. These small tools can be used between sessions to reduce immediate distress and to test ways of coping with change or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire will talk with clients about what feels most helpful and adapt her way of working to their needs, goals and preferences. That means the process is collaborative and reviewed as things change.

The exact session formats available for remote work are not specified here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quieter check‑ins that do not require a long commute, and reduce the need to travel on work days. It can also let people try shorter or more frequent sessions when that suits their daily life.
