Claire Latham is a counsellor who helps people navigate loss and difficult life changes. She uses a calm, respectful style to make it easier to talk about painful feelings. Her work focuses on reducing stress and anxiety and on rebuilding a sense of direction after something has ended or shifted.

She spends sessions listening closely and following the client's lead. That means conversations centre on the issues that matter most to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Claire offers straightforward techniques to soothe the body and mind when emotions feel overwhelming. Claire draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can be heard. She helps clients untangle feelings like guilt, shame or isolation and supports clearer communication when relationships are strained.

Over four years she has worked with people facing grief, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Her sessions also address finding life purpose and developing self-love as part of rebuilding confidence. Practical coping strategies are paired with time to reflect and make sense of experiences.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Claire aims to help people feel steadier and more able to move forward.

She keeps the work simple and focused, and she adapts to each person's pace and goals.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows the person's lead, offers empathetic listening and reflects what is said so people feel understood. This approach is useful for exploring grief, low self-esteem, relationship questions and life transitions.

In practice Claire uses gentle, straightforward techniques alongside reflective listening to help people calm strong emotions and make sense of their experience. The work is collaborative - she helps clients decide what to focus on and what methods feel most helpful as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a more conversational feel and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
