I can honestly say I would have had a nervous breakdown if it hadn’t been for Clair’s support during a very difficult and challenging time. I only had her to really confide in during what I was/am going through. I feel really listened to and understood. I practically gave up sharing how I felt with those closest to me and it has been a real comfort to be able to explain to someone just how alone I felt. It is really making a difference and I can’t recommend Clair enough and the BetterHelp platform.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Clair takes the time to understand and listens then gets you ready to work through topics, my first time using BetterHelp and it’s making a difference . Thx Clair for your help this far
I find Clair to be a warm, empathetic and down to earth counsellor and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled person-centered counsellor. As a counsellor myself, I have come to value my sessions with Clair immensely, which have become an important part of my self-care and my own ethical practice.
Very good therapist
Clair listens to me and makes me feel better in myself and realise that's things willet better
I’ve had active listeners in the past but Clair met me exactly where I needed her to be which was to take it one step further and not only actively listen but acknowledge and make me seen and heard. She used a technique that I didn’t even know I needed and had so very little off that I started to notice parts of me that needed healing. Clair helped unlock what was invisible and I experienced a true transformation in just a couple of sessions. Thank you Clair
