Testimonials

I was referred to Claire by a friend. Although I was a little hesitant to see Claire at the outset, she immediately put me at ease. I had this preconceived image of sitting on a couch and discussing my childhood, this was certainly not the case in our sessions. Our sessions were proactive and had clear directions. I had wanted help to set some work and relationships goals and thought that counselling did not provide such concrete work, I was very wrong. Over a few sessions, Claire helped me to organise my own goals, a plan to achieve them and then a few weeks later I went back to discuss how some needed to be altered. I have successfully attained the goals I outlined and have recommended her to many of my corporate friends.

My sister’s family started seeing Claire to help with the educational needs of their child. Meeting her once at the end of an assessment session with my niece, I was surprised to see how comfortable she made me feel. A few days later I made my first counselling appointment with her to discuss some relationship issues. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
