Susan contacted me in June 2023, after her friend recommended she get in touch. Susan says:
“I first contacted Claire at the beginning of June 2023. I had already had some extensive therapy with two other people. But I felt like it hadn’t helped at all and I certainly wasn’t feeling any better. I was still feeling utterly lost, broken and downtrodden and to be honest not that keen on living anymore. I was completely overwhelmed by the last 20 years of my life and I had had enough.Claire has a calm and gentle way about her that I connected with right from the start. She is very good at honing into areas that need some work/thought/assistance. Even after our introductory meeting Claire very quickly had some ideas for what we could do.In our very first session we removed quite a big block to me moving forward. It was a big realisation for me.I feel like Claire turned me to face a different, much better direction entirely, removed blocks and gave me tools and different perspectives to move forward in that direction. She was also very generous with her time with me even outside our sessions via email. I often had questions in between our sessions and Claire always provided some more input so when it came time for our next session they were very helpful and I feel we achieved a lot in a short time. This was such a welcome relief as the other people I had seen spent quite a lot of time talking about themselves. When I was spending a significant amount of money with them per hour this was not ideal. When we started each of our sessions Claire wasted no time in getting onto what we were there for.We had our sessions via zoom and I found them to be just as good as meeting face to face.I highly recommend Claire even if the primary reason is not a divorce. She can help you navigate though traumatic life events.Claire helped me enormously but I still felt quite fragile at the end of our sessions. Now 9 months on, I am a different person. I am feeling strong again within myself. Claire gave me tools to continue processing things and created a steady foundation from which to spring off into a much happier fun filled adventurous life with increasing meaning and fulfilment.”
