Claire has been my counsellor for almost 2 years. Lately she has been working with me processes a traumatic health issue. She was kind and compassionate. She guided me to look at the awful health condition in a positive light. It was something hard to comprehend but with her professional skills, she led me to believe and focus on the more positives in life and in this light brought me to realise the great health benefits I now have

I’m really grateful for the support I received from Claire. From the very beginning, she created a space where I felt comfortable talking openly about my experiences with gender and sexuality. Claire listened with genuine care and without judgment, and I always felt that she truly understood how complex and personal these topics can be. What meant the most to me was how well she understood the spectrum of gender and sexuality. She never made assumptions and allowed me the time and space to explore my thoughts and feelings at my own pace. Her empathy, patience, and openness made a big difference during a time when I really needed understanding and support. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and understanding therapist.
