About Claire

Claire Laforges is a UK-based therapist with seven years of professional experience and BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting recognised professional standing. She practises as a client-centred clinician and has worked as a psychosexual and intimate partner therapist, completing foundation-level BICA infertility training. She also serves as a clinical supervisor in the United Kingdom.

Her work spans outreach community settings as well as online and phone sessions, and she has supported both children and adults using a variety of therapeutic tools and theories. Claire focuses on helping people gain deeper insight into themselves and their experiences, offering practical support and techniques to address stress, anxiety and depression, challenges around LGBTQIA+ intimacy and sexual dysfunction, grief and loss, fear of change, and health-related worries.

Claire aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored with care. She seeks to empower clients to understand underlying causes and to take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Claire aims to respond to client messages within 24 hours on weekdays and updates her availability twice weekly. She is accepting new clients and invites people to book an available session.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Claire draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and early bonds to help people understand how relationship histories shape current connections and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and acceptance, creating space for clients to explore their feelings and build self-awareness at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, which can support coping with stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Claire works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to each individual's situation.

Online therapy with Claire is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or another comfortable setting, accommodating work, caregiving, or mobility needs while maintaining continuity of care.
