From Parents of Children attending sessions with Claire:
“Helped us connect much more with our daughter. Gave us practical advice for parenting, and has returned as a happy and confident child”
“Our daughter was anxious, sad and feeling down when she started. Over 6 weeks she came out of that shell and returned to her normal, bubbly self who has now learnt skills on how to deal with all those feelings. She no longer feels alone and loves her time with Claire.”
“It’s given our daughter a voice (being the youngest) she feels comfortable telling and talking about things that are bothering her. She understands her feelings about loss and separation are ok and normal”
From a teenager attending. ” I feel like I’m being a lot nicer to myself by using methods I learned with Claire”
“Working with Claire has helped my daughter to overcome her fear at nighttime, she is more open with us and she’s not aggressive towards us or her siblings”
“I find that my daughter is a lot happier and more content and seems to understand herself and feelings better”
“Our son has benefitted hugely from his sessions with Claire, he loved attending the sessions – which is half the battle”
“My usually bright and bubbly 11 year old daughter began to complain about not being able to sleep. This started to affect her relationships with her friends and her performance at school. She started complaining of pains in her throat, chest and stomach but, there was no medical explanation for it. We realised she was experiencing stress and anxiety. Using creative art therapy Claire was able to unlock our daughters fears and anxieties and enable her to find her voice. She helped and guided our daughter to find the solutions to the things that were holding her back, as well as teach her some strategies that she can use throughout her day to day life. Our daughter has renewed interest in her studies, hobbies and friends and has learned that there is always a solution to the problem. We are very grateful to Claire for empowering our daughter and for the parenting guidance we received. It has had a positive impact on our whole family.”
