"Talking with Claire has been cathartic. She is a highly skilled therapist, understanding, patient and very knowledgeable and never judgemental. Claire taught me the skills which I needed to move forward and let go of painful things which had been holding me back for years."

"I've had 5 or 6 counsellors over the last ten years, but I would have only had 1 if I'd met Claire sooner. Whether it's in person or on Zoom (I've done both), she makes you feel comfortable and free to open up, and from the first appointment, I got so much value, insight, and direction, and it's only grown since. I even look forward to my sessions (somethi..." Read more

"I found myself somewhat lost in life in late 2024, I found Claire, and suppose more importantly she found me, after only a very few sessions with Claire’s help I could see more clearly, she left me with the tools to help cope with life’s up’s and down’s. It’s reassuring to know if I need help in the future, Claire is just a phone call away. Claire thank you..." Read more

"I have wanted to write a recommendation for Claire Sainsbury for quite a considerable time now, but the time has never felt right, and it still doesn’t, because the changes that she helped me to make are still taking effect. I was not one to seek help for my state of mind, not exactly a cynic more a believer in my own determination. Claire helped me map myse..." Read more

"I booked a session with Claire, and it was the most helpful, insightful session I think I've ever had from any counselling I've ever done. She packed a lot into the 45 minutes and gave me a lot to think about. Her time was worth every penny!"

"My wife and I were skeptical about couples therapy and had never tried this. It was the last chance saloon for both of us. We can say that Claire helped us to save our marriage. The tools and techniques provided were tremendously helpful as well as the supervised honest and candid exchanges that allow us to resolve many unspoken issues. Thank you Claire."

"I picked Claire because of her client reviews and they are certainly correct. Claire has really been helpful and making life easier and for the better. I must admit that I was sceptical about the EFT taping but it has most definitely helped me going forward and being a better person!"

She has helped me break the cycle and restore hope and optimism. She has shown me ways I can now help and maintain myself when faced with new difficulties.

"From the very outset Claire made to feel comfortable in an atmosphere that had no judgement. All the sessions were very much ‘client’ led and I was able to talk freely and discuss feelings and emotions that had hitherto been difficult for me. Claire’s approach is nice and gentle and totally non-judgemental. I always felt at ease and actually quite enjoyed ou..." Read more
