This is my first time using Better Help and Claire has been amazing! She listens very well and her knowledge and advice is impeccable! She makes me feel safe and heard and validates my feelings. I always feel much calmer after speaking to her. A* therapist!!!!!

Claire has been so helpful and easy to talk to. She provides excellent relevant research to support her responses which makes it reassuring that she truly knows what she’s talking about! This has been my first therapy experience and i am thoroughly impressed and grateful for her advice and non judgmental approach.
Highly recommended!

Working with Claire-Louise has been a truly transformative experience. From the very beginning, she created a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where I felt genuinely heard and understood. Her approach is both compassionate and insightful — she has a unique ability to ask the right questions that gently guide you toward deeper self-awareness and meaningful progress.
Claire-Louise balances empathy with professionalism, and it’s clear that she deeply cares about her clients’ well-being. She consistently offers thoughtful feedback and practical tools that have helped me navigate difficult emotions, build resilience, and develop a healthier mindset.
Whether you’re new to therapy or have been on this journey for a while, I highly recommend Claire-Louise. Her presence is calming, her support is empowering, and her guidance has made a lasting impact on my personal growth.

Ive only had a few sessions, but so far Claire has been very easy to talk to, she is very respectful and I enjoy our conversations. I have also done some useful exercises to help with certain situations as they arise and think about things differently. I am looking forward to working with her going forward.
