Clare was incredibly helpful! She's a great listener, provides great insights, really gets to know you and I can tell she really cares. She is very knowledgeable and taught me a great toolbox for dealing with my issues.
I have had the most incredible inner-self transformation because of the help Clare has given me. The way in which she would listen and discuss the things I was opening up about allowed me to fully immerse myself in this process. I was able to breakdown fully and not feel awkward or uncomfortable in the slightest. In turn this allowed me to embrace the feelings I had about what I was going through and learn to manage the emotions that came with it.Clare has taught me techniques to deal with the most difficult of times and given me a sense of "self" and "normality" back to me from being completely lost.I am forever grateful for the help I have received working with Clare. Thank you!I couldn't recommend Clare enough.
I could not have asked for a better therapist! Clare really helped the issues which I was faced with and helped me to find strategies to deal with them! She created a very comfortable and safe environment where I felt able to truly open up. Overall a great experience and I cannot recommend her enough!
Having had 9 sessions with Clare, I would describe her therapy as life changing. I have really enjoyed our sessions together, she has made me feel comfortable and able to speak as much or as little as I want to. I also appreciate Clare's laid-back and flexible style of therapy, on one occasion I felt uncomfortable with a behavioral experiment and so instead we found another way to the same result. Thank you Clare so much!
I had recent therapy with Clare in order to address my "severe OCD." Having worked with Clare over a number of weeks, I can honestly say that Clare was the best therapist I have experienced. I've had therapy for my OCD on multiple occasions and from multiple therapists but I've never made such progress under any other therapist. Clare's style is hugely conducive to achieving positive results. Based on my experience a great therapist is one that provides a bespoke recovery plan whilst also providing therapy at the optimal speed. Clare is extremely easy to build a positive rapport with and seems personally invested in achieving your recovery. Having someone that is so committed to improving your personal situation is extremely important as it provides you with that trust and motivation to succeed. I'm personally proud of the progress that I made but this certainly couldn't have been achieved without the work that Clare did. I couldn't recommend Clare more for anyone that needs support. Clare will make you feel as ease and you can feel confident of making improvements with Clare's support.
This was my first time doing CBT and I found Clare to be very welcoming and supportive. The techniques she has helped me learn have been very valuable, and I have found significant improvement as a result. I would highly recommend!

I’ve found these to be very effective in helping me deal with feelings of being overwhelmed.

This was my first experience with counselling and exploring CBT. Clare was exactly what I needed, her approach is calming and made me feel comfortable during our sessions. Clare was really good at explaining things through, taking time with me when it was needed and offered the support I needed. I have grown and learnt a lot and have many tools to use. I would recommend Clare to anyone seeking help.
