I am incredibly grateful that I have Claire as my therapist. Connecting with her has truly been one of the best experiences of my life, and I'm thankful for the impact she has had on me this year. Claire has taught me so much about myself and has helped me become more self-aware, guiding me on my journey toward becoming a better version of myself. Although it has been a challenging path, I am proud of how much I've grown already. Claire's kindness, support, resourcefulness, and respect make her stand out as the best therapist I have ever had. I always felt safe sharing my feelings and traumas with her because she doesn't judge. She provided me with the guidance I needed to understand myself better and learn how to soothe my emotional struggles. I cannot recommend Claire highly enough!!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Claire is an amazing therapist, I've only had a few sessions but I am already feeling the benefits. I feel so heard and seen for the first time ever.
My time having sessions with Claire has been absolutely invaluable to me. She has helped me navigate through some challenging aspects of my life, both within myself and with the people around me. Claire strikes a fantastic balance between a considerate listener and a motivating advisor, and I have always felt comfortable in our sessions together. I have always come away from them with a new resource or technique that has helped me with what I am struggling with. I had never been to therapy before my sessions with Claire and she made me feel very comfortable from the start. I cannot recommend Claire highly enough, she is fantastic!
Claire has been amazing and has addressed all of my concerns. She is a joy to work with.
Claire is Competent, empathetic, insightful and highly intelligent. A rare gem in a sea of therapists.
Claire is really resourceful and understanding to my situation
Having never had any therapy sessions before now, I didn’t know what to expect and felt quite nervous. But this very quickly went away with Claire and she made me feel comfortable. She does a really balanced amount of listening vs giving advice and I feel like this works really well for me.
Claire is kind, compassionate, friendly and supportive. I've tried different types of therapy before which weren't overly helpful but she has helped me identify the best one for me and helps me grow and heal.
Very intuitive and experienced therapist
An excellent therapist 10/10. She provided significant assistance in healing from trauma and in improving my attachment style following my breakup.
Claire has been very supportive and helpful in guiding me to discover my life goals and overcome some challenges in my life. She has shown me new perspectives while tailoring her service to my needs. Claire is a great therapist I would highly recommend.
Claire has been so supportive and a great resource for learning about myself and human behaviour. I feel really understood but challenged at the same time. The Homework is also a great resource for self development.
Highly recommend Claire, she is both supportive and challenging in equal measure which achieves effective results.
Very sensitive to my needs, and has opened a whole universe for me, with attachment types and how I relate to the world.
Claire is my first therapist, I didn’t think I would benefit from the sessions as much as I have. I owe a lot to Claire and how she has impacted my life in the present and in the future. I honestly feel like a completely different human to six months ago.
Claire is great in understatding relationships, attachment styles. She filters informationnvery well and knows what to tackle, which leads to new insights!
Helped me understand why my relationship wasn’t working and not to give up and try with someone else but how to fix the relationship and make it work for both of us
Amazing therapist Loved working with her
Claire has been amazing, she helped me so much, when I was going through a tough time and even on my good days it was always good to have a support system there.
Very supportive, attentive and yet challenging, working closely to take on issues in a supportive and constructive way, can't recommend enough
She is a therapist that you never know you needed. She's chill, relax and yet at the same time, knows what she's dealing with. She is amazing.
When you discover a therapist you 'click' with, it makes the process way easier. I've found Claire to be supportive and encouraging but isn't afraid to tackle issues and give guidance where it's needed. She's highly skilled, personable and makes the sessions enjoyable and never daunting.
Claire has been great and helped me a lot in my mental health journey. I felt really blessed by her wisdom and friendly attitude. It was easy to talk to her and bring up any issue or idea I had in mind. I felt like talking to a really wise and knowledgeable friend. She gives great advice and was genuinely happy about my progress. She has a lot of emotional intelligence and is very supportive and encouraging. 10/10 would recommend
I felt heard and immediately felt a sense of hope!
Claire is lovely offering strong, qualified support.
