My time having sessions with Claire has been absolutely invaluable to me. She has helped me navigate through some challenging aspects of my life, both within myself and with the people around me. Claire strikes a fantastic balance between a considerate listener and a motivating advisor, and I have always felt comfortable in our sessions together. I have always come away from them with a new resource or technique that has helped me with what I am struggling with. I had never been to therapy before my sessions with Claire and she made me feel very comfortable from the start. I cannot recommend Claire highly enough, she is fantastic!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Claire is really resourceful and understanding to my situation

May 2024

Having never had any therapy sessions before now, I didn’t know what to expect and felt quite nervous. But this very quickly went away with Claire and she made me feel comfortable. She does a really balanced amount of listening vs giving advice and I feel like this works really well for me.

Apr 2024

Claire is kind, compassionate, friendly and supportive. I've tried different types of therapy before which weren't overly helpful but she has helped me identify the best one for me and helps me grow and heal.

An excellent therapist 10/10. She provided significant assistance in healing from trauma and in improving my attachment style following my breakup.

Feb 2024

Claire has been very supportive and helpful in guiding me to discover my life goals and overcome some challenges in my life. She has shown me new perspectives while tailoring her service to my needs. Claire is a great therapist I would highly recommend.

Feb 2024

Claire has been so supportive and a great resource for learning about myself and human behaviour. I feel really understood but challenged at the same time. The Homework is also a great resource for self development.

Feb 2024

Highly recommend Claire, she is both supportive and challenging in equal measure which achieves effective results.

Jan 2024

Very sensitive to my needs, and has opened a whole universe for me, with attachment types and how I relate to the world.

Jan 2024

Claire is my first therapist, I didn’t think I would benefit from the sessions as much as I have. I owe a lot to Claire and how she has impacted my life in the present and in the future. I honestly feel like a completely different human to six months ago.

Jan 2024

Claire is great in understatding relationships, attachment styles. She filters informationnvery well and knows what to tackle, which leads to new insights!

Helped me understand why my relationship wasn’t working and not to give up and try with someone else but how to fix the relationship and make it work for both of us

Nov 2023

Very supportive, attentive and yet challenging, working closely to take on issues in a supportive and constructive way, can't recommend enough

Oct 2023

She is a therapist that you never know you needed. She's chill, relax and yet at the same time, knows what she's dealing with. She is amazing.

Oct 2023

When you discover a therapist you 'click' with, it makes the process way easier. I've found Claire to be supportive and encouraging but isn't afraid to tackle issues and give guidance where it's needed. She's highly skilled, personable and makes the sessions enjoyable and never daunting.

Sep 2023

Claire has been great and helped me a lot in my mental health journey. I felt really blessed by her wisdom and friendly attitude. It was easy to talk to her and bring up any issue or idea I had in mind. I felt like talking to a really wise and knowledgeable friend. She gives great advice and was genuinely happy about my progress. She has a lot of emotional intelligence and is very supportive and encouraging. 10/10 would recommend
