   I had EMDR Therapy with Claire initally due to experiencing vicarious trauma (compassion fatigue) from the work that I do. Although it also highlighted some personal areas that needed addressing, that I wasn't aware of. It reduced my anxiety, supported me to feel calmer, gave me some grounding resources and some clear next steps for my ongoing healing journey. I am very grateful for the support that Claire gave me.

   I saw Claire periodically to mitigate the impact of vicarious trauma. Claire was friendly, warm, very knowledgeable about the impact of trauma and offered me interventions that worked. Without Claire's skill I would still be carrying around many brutal images in my mind.

   Never did I think that I would owe so much to somebody I had previously never met. Claire was everything I could have ever hoped for, when I was introduced to her after being referred through my employer Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service. Having been diagnosed with PTSD, Claire was there for me every step of the way as I faced PTSD, determined to not only return to life and work, but to thrive. Claire was the anchor in my support network, allowing me to grow through EMDR therapy. Every single session with Claire gave me the confidence to push myself and return to full operational duty and to grow as a person. Claire allowed me to operate in an environment that was safe and comfortable, albeit virtually as a result of Coronavirus COVID-19 and I have truly never felt more valued, respected and listened to. I am lucky enough to deliver mental health training and my journey with Claire has given me so many experiences to share with my learners and I am confident we will work together again in the future. Claire, thank you for everything, I will never forget how our relationship and time together helped me build a bright future.

   I worked with Claire during my training. She's friendly and approachable and has a substantial range of experience to draw on. I felt encouraged and challenged (in a supportive, growthful way), and able to explore both the positive aspects of my work and those I was finding more difficult. I have recommended her to friends and colleagues.

   I cannot thank you enough for what you did with our team. I did wonder part way through whether we would manage to facilitate change but we did! Your empathy and skill was apparent throughout – thank you.

   Claire, your support as a clinical lead has gone over and above my expectations. Your professionalism and knowledge is greatly appreciated. If you are reading this review and you want a supervisor who will challenge your practice, whilst nurturing your growth as a counsellor, you have found the right one. Highly recommended
