About Claire
Claire Latham is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness and questions around life purpose and self-love.
Claire keeps sessions centred on what the person brings. She uses client-centred therapy, which means the client’s concerns set the agenda and the counsellor follows the client’s lead. Conversations are straightforward and focused on understanding feelings and reactions to difficult events.
Practical calming strategies are offered alongside talking. Claire can suggest simple techniques to help with immediate distress and to make day-to-day coping easier. These are described and practised in session so people can use them between meetings.
Sessions also include reflection on patterns and options. Claire helps people notice how they respond to stressful situations and consider different ways to act or think. This can be useful when adjusting to loss, changing work, or rethinking relationships and priorities.
The work is collaborative and paced to the person. Claire aims to build a steady working relationship and to review progress together. She encourages clear next steps, whether that is short-term coping or longer exploration of purpose and meaning.
How Claire uses client-centred work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful, non-directive relationship. In practice this means the client sets the topics and pace, while the counsellor listens, reflects and helps clarify feelings. This approach is often helpful for issues like grief, low self-esteem and uncertainty about life direction.Alongside client-centred work, Claire offers practical calming techniques during sessions. These are simple exercises aimed at reducing immediate distress and supporting daily coping. They can be introduced gradually and practised between meetings to help with stress and anxiety following life changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Claire will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you want to check which session formats are possible, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online meetings make it easier to keep regular sessions and to bring immediate concerns into a scheduled slot without rearranging a whole day.
