"Clare has really made a difference to my life, she was very professional but so kind too making me feel at ease. Would 100% recommend to anyone considering therapy!"

"I found the idea of therapy overwhelming and when I finally took steps to get some help, Clare was simply superb. We have had many sessions where I would arrive in a mess. Every session will leave you feeling empowered and ready to face your next challenge. Having someone to talk through my problems and expereiences has not only helped me develop skills and techniques to cope better, but I am now able to see things from other people's perspectives. Through Clare's approach, there's no pressure, there's nothing that you cannot discuss and she listens. I found myself really looking forward to the next session and always learned something new or a technique to help me. Working with Clare is extremely comfortable and welcoming. I cannot recommend her service and knowledge enough. Without these sessions I know I would be in a much worse place. She's helped me to take steps to rebuild my relationship, helped with my financial situation, and to make me more able and prepared to tackle things head-on. As a man, I think it's easy to underestimate the value of talking things through, so if you're not sure, just try it, go for it, you will not regret it."

"Clare has a wealth of knowledge and experience that proved valuable throughout my counselling training and work placements. Supervision sessions were productive, insightful and formative which helped both personal and professional growth. Clare provided me with considered and directed support and guidance which helped build confidence and self-belief in my abilities, judgment and proficiency. This, in turn, empowered me to take on challenges and work with more complex cases. Clare's integrity, openness, encouragement and commitment over the past two years played an important role in shaping me into the reflective counsellor I am today."

"I cannot praise and thank Clare enough for all her help and support! I had suffered for years from anxiety and depression and despite receiving lots of help the anxiety was still a huge problem. Working with Clare over time I can honestly say that I cannot remember when I last felt anxious. We discussed current problems and past issues of course, but more Importantly I learnt the tools to deal with situations and how to alter my way of thinking. This has made such a difference to my self-confidence and my life in general and I highly recommend Clare to everyone!"
