Claire James

I work both face to face in Livingston or online with flexibility of early mornings or evening sessions. 

My approach is calm and compassionate working with adults and teenagers who are navigating change, loss and difficult decisions.

Experiences in life from both the present and past can sometimes bring a mix of unwelcome overwhelming emotions, thoughts, feelings and coping mechanisms.

In your therapy sessions with me (either face to face or online) being heard and understood can create space to recognise patterns, gain insight and experience your world in a new way.

Alongside private practice, I work as a therapist with Jak’s Den, Cruse Bereavement and Health Assured, supporting people through a wide range of life experiences.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the airline industry as cabin crew and later in recruitment. Both roles sparked my curiosity and deepened my interest in people, their stories and experiences and the difference it can make to be genuinely heard and understood.

Sessions are available weekly or fortnightly for a set period, with the option to continue on a more open-ended basis depending on your needs.

If you'd like to find out more or see whether working together feels like a good fit, please get in touch by message, phone or email to arrange an initial chat.
