Testimonials
“I have known Claire for a number of years as she has provided EMDR supervision to my colleagues and then also to me after I completed my training. Her knowledge and experience are excellent and she has given me lots of creative ways of how to work with my clients, especially when they seem resistant to change. There is nothing that is too big or too small to ask her, as she is always compassionate and understanding of my therapeutic needs. My clients range in age from 11-25, so all have had very diverse traumatic experiences in their lives, some from a very early age, and Claire always has suggestions of how I can best work with them to promote their recovery. I can highly recommend her as an EMDR supervisor”.
Helen Hardacre, NHS Young People’s Counsellor and EMDR Therapist
“Claire’s consistent empathetic supervision and mentoring has been invaluable to me, from my initial training in EMDR and onwards. She holds space for me to understand both mine and my clients’ processes, offering insight with both challenge and respect, allowing me to deepen and develop my practice with integrity. I’ll always be grateful for her wisdom and the way she enables me to build confidence in my work, especially in supporting me with integrating different modalities such as IFS into my work in a way that I feel comfortable with”.
Rachel Dickinson, PNCPS (Accr.) BA Hons. PG Diploma, PG Cert, Integrative Psychotherapist
“ I have had Claire as my EMDR Supervisor for 4 years, and I plan to stay with her for as long as I can. Not only is she very knowledgeable but she will go the extra mile and email training suggestions or articles which have been discussed during the session (not everyone remembers to do these things)! Claire is very friendly and approachable and made my EMDR Accreditation process very easy”.
Deborah F Smith, BA(Hons) MA, MBACP (Accred)

Itrat Khan, CBT & EMDR Therapist
Claire has provided supervision over the last two and half years. Her warm, compassionate, and professional approach has helped provide a safe and supportive psychological space. Her humour and patience have often helped alleviate my anxieties and self-critical thoughts as a clinician. Claire’s knowledge and expertise in EMDR has helped develop my application of using EMDR when working with clients with diverse and complex trauma presentations”.
Dr Rabia Zeb, Principal Clinical Psychologist
"I immediately warmed to Claire's friendly and down-to-earth personality. Having worked with her as my EMDR supervisor for almost 7 years, I have always found her knowledgeable and helpful to a fault. Claire can offer a wealth of therapy experience and expertise, and she strikes the right balance of being professional and 'human' in equal measure!"
