After every session I leave equipped knowing how to manage whatever it was I went to her with that day.

"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."

"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
