About Claire James
She describes herself as warm and friendly and prioritises creating an atmosphere of acceptance and non-judgement so clients can feel understood. Claire has supported people through a wide range of difficulties, including relationship problems, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, eating disorders, abuse and neglect, anger management, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, bullying, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses specific areas such as codependency, commitment issues, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, infidelity, jealousy, and other concerns that affect relationships and personal wellbeing.
Claire has volunteered with homeless young people and completed placements in college settings during her training, and she is comfortable making referrals or signposting to additional services when a client's needs exceed her scope of practice. As a born again Christian, she has some experience supporting clients with matters related to faith and spirituality and can bring that understanding into a therapeutic context when it is relevant to a client's goals.
Alongside work focused on resolving distress, Claire also supports general self-development. Whether a client seeks help to break repeating patterns of emotional pain, prepare for a significant life event, or build confidence and wellbeing, she aims to help people identify triggers, shift perspectives, and develop new ways of thinking and behaving that enable lasting change.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
Therapists who offer remote sessions are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides accessible, practical support that complements or replaces face-to-face work depending on personal preference and circumstances.
