"Claire is amazing. She is kind, funny, personable and makes you feel comfortable in your sessions with her. Her space is lovely and comfortable! She’s helped me a lot in the last 5 weeks. Forever grateful." - Courtney
"My husband was quite nervous to attend counselling but has now been seeing Claire for several months. He describes her as approachable, non-judgmental, super smart and most importantly fun. The sessions have been really enjoyable for him and as a result made a difference in both our lives. Very highly recommend!" - Sabrina
"I have had a lot of counselling over the years and Claire is the one I can't recommend enough. Claire is intuitive, caring, safe, good humored. While professionally qualified, her skill at counselling is inherent. I won't go to anyone else. Highly recommend." - Amber
