Reviews
Working with Claire has been nothing short of amazing! Each session was insightful and felt like having a conversation as we slowly I unpacked everything and talked things through, this was my first time attending therapy so it was great to have someone as compassionate and empathetic as Claire helping me come to terms and guide me through processing my trauma, she gave the space to talk through my experience and reframe my past experiences and see it from a different perspective to understand how I unconsciously dealt with my trauma and how it affected me growing up. Working with Claire these few months helped me reframe my experiences and understand how I was treated wasn't my fault, I'm immensely thankful for her help, guidance and kind presence.
Claire is short of amazing! I truly appreciate everything she does!
I was very nervous about the whole process before I started but Claire let me choose which method best suited me. Now I could not be more relaxed. Claire and myself have an open, relaxed chat about my issue and I have made progress I never thought possible.
Thank you Claire.
