The Hove Counselling Practice - Brighton and Hove

Claire is simply incredible. So caring and gentle in her approach yet you always come out feeling you have learnt, developed and grown. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced in her field and so skilled in a variety of applied therapeutic techniques. If you ever feel like you’re in a place where you wish to understand yourself, others and the world around you better, then do not hesitate to reach out to her.Thank you, Claire for all your time and efforts thus far.

Claire has helped me and supported me to understand some of the loops I was re-living over and over, never seeming to find any answers or relief. 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.I highly recommend her approach and professionalism, the whole process has been a revelation.

If, like me you’re thinking that attending therapy sessions is not for you then I recommend you think again, be brave and attend sessions with Claire. Initially I was apprehensive and felt way out of my comfort zone but within a few sessions with Claire’s relaxed but professional approach I knew I had made the right choice by going. For me personally it has been a life changing experience and one I wished I’d have done years ago.

Claire is the best therapist I have ever been to! She has helped me and my partner to go through a difficult path on our relationship, with so much care and professionalism, giving us the right tools to help us understand each other. Claire has shown us that is possible to love and live throughout our differences and taught us how to listen and talk to each other, proving that a good dialogue is the key to a healthy relationship.We’re so glad to have met Claire!

After reading the reviews below I thought I’d book myself in. The reviews certainly live up to the level of service. Claire is an incredibly compassionate practitioner with great clinical initiative. I could not recommend her services enough.

Claire is an excellent therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone. I made it clear from the start that I really wanted to be challenged and to receive practical/pragmatic support. Having had counselling previously, I knew I didn’t want someone to just be a listening ear, but I wanted to really learn more about myself. Claire used practical techniques to teach me theories about what was going on for me. She was also challenging and could see through my coping mechanisms in order to get to the root of issues. I appreciated this direct approach, but I can imagine that Claire is incredibly good at picking up on what people need, and so could take a more delicate approach if this is what someone needed or required. She was flexible and would allow extra time between sessions if more processing time was requested. Although on the more expensive side, I would say it is well worth paying a little more to invest in a therapist as skilled as Claire. I had 10 sessions altogether and I felt we covered such a wide range of things in that time. I will take the skills and the lessons she has taught me into my life. I also know that the door is always open if I need further support in the future.

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!

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 had an EFT session with Claire to try and help calm some worries and fears that had been coming up for me around a situation. I had heard great things about tapping but didn’t have any expectations, I just felt that this might be a good option to try.Claire was brilliant at explaining the process and guided me through the tapping session step by step. During the session I felt totally relaxed and at the end I had a distinct feeling that something had shifted. However, it wasn’t until a few days later that I noticed my anxiety and fear surrounding the situation had dissipated, I no longer felt that my worry was at a 10, and that was truly remarkable. I highly recommend giving EFT a try with Claire, it’s a fabulous treatment.
