Claire Lakey MNCPS (Acc.), Dip.Couns
Pyschotherapeutic Counsellor, Cert Ed

I'm Claire Lakey, a qualified and accredited counsellor working online with adults across the UK.
 

I work with people carrying a lot — burnout, stress, emotional exhaustion, and the weight of experiences that won’t shift easily.

Maybe you feel drained, stuck, or flat. Maybe you’re tired of holding it together on the surface while wondering underneath: “Is this all there is?”
 

You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to come to therapy.  Sometimes you just need a real space to stop performing, feel what’s happening, and work out where to go next.
 

I offer a grounded, practical approach — no pressure to explain things perfectly, no expectation to be “sorted.”

We’ll work at your pace, using your words, to look at what’s happening beneath the surface and start loosening what’s holding you back.

​

My approach is grounded in Transactional Analysis (TA), a collaborative and practical form of psychotherapy.  TA helps you understand your patterns, your story, and the choices you have now.

It’s not about endlessly digging through the past. It’s about understanding it enough to loosen its grip — and start living with more clarity, steadiness, and strength.

Sessions are confidential and online. I offer a free 30-minute consultation so you can ask questions and get a feel for how I work, and see if it's the right fit.
