I've been working with Claire for a few months now, best decison I've made in years. In particular an approach she encouraged me to try was the DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) S.T.O.P. technique, including making myself a token of some kind to have to hand to aid and support this particular way of managing mental/emotional responses. STOP technique has proved to be hugely effective for me, halting/preventing emotional 'triggering' and enabling me to easily manage my reactions and state of mind in difficult situations. Claire suggested I try to make my token instantly visually equatable with the 'Stop,Time out, Observe oneself, Proceed mindfully' acronym and perhaps try using a traffic light colour approach. I come up with this, the beads have really happy associations for me, which adds to its effectiveness. I chose the green spiral bead for the 'proceeding mindfully' stage as it seemed like a good symbol for working my way gently and steadily out of feeling stuck or trapped in the centre of something. I put a little clip on the top and have been able to attach it to key rings, hand bags, bracelets etc. It's about as long as my index finger so not obtrusive. The pleasure of having it about, in sight, alot of the time has also been strong factor in my absorbing this technique into my day-today life. Cannot recommend Claire highly enough :)

I reached out to Claire as I was having some personal and relationship difficulties. She was very astute and indentified the central issue on my very first visit. In fact, the problem I sought her help with turned out to only be a small symptom of a wider issue. She has been lovely thoughout and has been challenging and encouraging in equal measure. I have found our sessions together immensely helpful and my confidence, marriage, family and professional life will be all the better for it. Something perhaps I should have done years ago. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Claire for practical help with anxiety. I needed help following multiple close bereavements. Claire used a technique called Energy Tapping. I can honestly say I feel calmer now than I can remember and equipped to deal with potential stresses in the future. Claire has an excellent manner, instantly making you feel at ease. She really understood what had happened to me and what I needed to move forward. Thank you Claire!

I have had several tapping sessions with Claire and I have found her to be very caring, understanding and sensitive to my needs. I had a few family issues to deal with and Claire was patient while I offloaded, and was able to 'read between the lines' when I was having trouble finding the words I needed to use whilst tapping. A highly professional therapist and I highly recommend her.

Claire has helped me to go through a very dark and scary patch of my life. I was struggling to deal with day to day tasks, constant anxiety, stress at work, relationship issues, depression and life in general; feeling lost, defeated, worthless, scared and helpless.. Claire was very professional and created a very comfortable and safe atmosphere where I was able to open up, relax, learn, grow and eventually change my life around 180 degrees and get a fresh and more mindful perspective in life. I am still on my journey and will always be extremely grateful to all what Claire taught me. I would highly recommend Claire, a professional, knowledgeable, warm, soothing, lovely, caring person and expert in her field. Thank you for all your help!
