Claire Latham, BACP

Claire Latham offers compassionate counselling for people navigating loss, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. She specialises in grief, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and coping with significant changes, and she also works with challenges such as communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, and self-love. Claire frames her work around a person-centred approach, believing clients have the capacity to grow when given supportive, nonjudgmental conditions. As an integrative counsellor she adapts techniques to fit each client, centering sessions on the person’s priorities and pacing.

In practical terms, Claire focuses on creating an environment where clients feel seen and heard. She supports people in soothing both emotional and physical distress with simple, practical techniques, and she guides gentle exploration of personal experience so that feelings and events can be processed and better understood. Part of her work is helping clients build resilience and practical coping skills to manage future challenges, with the aim of improving overall wellbeing and stability.

Claire holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and uses client-led sessions to foster trust and empowerment. In each meeting the client leads the agenda while Claire offers steady, professional support to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Her practice is aimed at people seeking a thoughtful, empathetic space to work through loss, everyday struggles, or a general sense that something needs to change.
