From those who know
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day
“Clare’s methodology, knowledge and presentation are simply a pleasure to be part of. She is articulate, charismatic, and receives the views of others positively, valuing each person in the group with a sensitivity that allows each person to find a comfortable space to learn and participate.”
– Roxana, 2025 –
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day

– Victoria, 2025 –
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day
“I loved the balance between theory, theology and group work, exploring the concepts and applying in a practical way. Gold, pure gold.”
– Claire, 2025 –
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day
“My suggestion is that corporate clients would find this invaluable. E.g. police. I think that if the majority of personnel had an understanding of trauma, individuals would be better supported, even if they had to access to personal counselling.”
– Bob, 2025 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“The benefits of the coaching I receive from Claire are extensive, I am able to discuss any area of my life with Claire and receive valuable insight and clarity. Often at the beginning of sessions I’m not even well able to describe the issue concerning me yet she is skilled at deeply listening and getting to the heart of the matter. I’ve had significant breakthroughs in thought patterns where I’ve been stuck and been able to comfortably let go of things and discover where to invest my focus.”
– Therapist, 2025 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“Practically this round of coaching helped me to survive the most mental and physically challenging period of work in my life. A particular insight was that I let my needs be back burner-ed when advocating for them puts work onto others, or when it appears that others are carrying the same weight easier than I am.”
– Healthcare Administrator, 2023 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“I have completed two books that I felt real drivenness to write. Claire helped me identify the purpose which was behind the drive. As a result, the books are being read and discussed, which is what I wanted.”
– Jim, 2024 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“What sets Claire apart is how she has helped me navigate the complexities of daily work life while never losing sight of what truly matters. And has shown me that being part of a community isn’t just about presence, but about authentic connection. Most meaningfully, they’ve walked alongside me in strengthening my Christian faith, offering wisdom and encouragement that has deepened my spiritual journey.”
– Member of a Christian Community, 2025 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“Throughout my coaching journey, my biggest challenge has been internal – specifically, the daily internal conflict I experience with my faith. During our monthly sessions, Claire provides thoughtful support as I process my spiritual struggles, actively helping me gain clarity about my spiritual state and direction.”
Building Effective Teams
“As a SLT we did this workshop first and found the 2 diagrams very helpful for understanding how the various teams in the school worked. It made us aware that as an SLT we need a better induction programme for our new Middle Leaders as well as reminding their teams that the process of settling in a new Middle Leader involves everyone and can vary over time.
We then did the workshop with all staff. Many staff found it useful as it gave them a better understanding of how their team works and how it might need to change to work better. We have a further workshop planned with Claire and the Middle Leaders and we’re really looking forward to that.”
“I can highly recommend this workshop.”
– Tracey, 2024 –
Chapter 2 Mentor training
“Claire has been part of our mentor training day for several years, bringing input on communication, empathy and social interaction. She always brings fresh insights and helps our mentors look at things differently. She is sensitive to the room – adapting her style and content depending on the background and experiences of those present.”
– Andrea, 2025 –

Building a Fulfilled Life workshop
“Fantastic job Claire! You were calm, natural, very encouraging and professional. I just regret I couldn’t take the most of the workshop as would have helped me a lot I think. Well done! You should be proud of yourself!”
– Aneta, 2021 –
Transformative Change workshop
“I found learning about the whole process for successful change really interesting. I never put that much thought into it. Now I know how important preparation is.”
– Toya, 2022 –
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day
“The assurance that God chose us before we were alive. He walks the journey with us, takes on the trauma, and brings healing as he journeys through the pain and takes it on himself through his death and resurrection, so we can be healed.”
– Roxana, 2025 –
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day
“It increased my awareness that anyone I meet could have suffered a trauma so to be sensitive and to listen carefully.”
– Tracy, 2025 –
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day
“The most significant takeaway for me was the practical application of the skills we learned. The real-life examples provided really helped me see how to implement these techniques effectively in my own context.”
– Tabita, 2025 –
Beloved & Entrusted Trauma Training Day
“This workshop has made me recognise where I have been lost in trauma through intense grief and that it’s OK to go through it, as long as I get the right help.”
– Adam, 2025 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“Claire’s approach is very practical. I appreciate being able to bring both specific situations and abstract questions to work through. I feel like I am getting personal and professional growth out of the experience, and tools that will serve me well after coaching ends.”
– Healthcare Administrator, 2022 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“I was in a place of feeling discouraged and wanting to give up when I started sessions with Claire. I found Claire had an amazing balance of listening, reflecting and then asking the right questions to help me articulate what I was feeling. She gave me homework to work through things on my own after each session. This helped me to walk out insights and revelations I had had during the sessions.”
– Overseas Missionary, 2022 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“While I previously relied on natural skills and work ethic to succeed at work, coaching has proven how much further I can get my setting specific goals. In my personal life coaching has helped me reflect on my values, and make conscious choices about who and what I give priority to. I no longer feel victim to the storms of life, but instead feel like a capable captain of my vessel. I have a toolkit of resources, some specifically from coaching, some that coaching taught me to seek out. I know that in the future I can reach for these tools, or seek others to respond to situations.”

“Just being able to articulate my thoughts and feelings in such a safe, encouraging environment has been massively helpful. I like it that Claire really gets me and remembers things from previous sessions that shed light on current discussions.”

“Going by previous patterns, I wouldn’t have got this far with my project – writing a book – without Claire. To achieve this, I have also started spiritual disciplines which has also helped immensely with my moving addresses and changing my life role from programmer to carer.”

Building Effective Teams
“Some colleagues thinking that it is the other person’s responsibility to change when in fact it will be everyone’s responsibility to change if a team’s dynamic and effectiveness isn’t as good as it could be.”
– Tracey, 2024 –
Building a Fulfilled Life workshop
“Most helpful was the communication and understanding that no matter how small or big a problem is there is always a way / a method of resolving an issue. How to Identify the problem, how to work through it.”
“Listening skills are very important in unpacking a problem!”
– Derrick and Priscilla, 2021 –
Transformative Change workshop
“Really helpful to see how useful planning and waiting can be in this process, I had never viewed it in this way before. Really helpful to hear other participants struggle in similar ways to me!”
– Louise, 2022 –
Rule of Life workshop
“I had heard of Rule of Life but it was helpful to have more than one definition, a practical process to follow to form one (or at least get started), and here examples of how it’s affected your personal life and habits. It’s always helpful to talk to someone who has done it and has tangible examples of what it could look like.”

Coaching and Mentoring
“Words cannot fully capture the profound impact my mentor, Claire, has had on my life. Through their guidance, I’ve learned to transform not just my daily routines, but my entire approach to wellbeing. She taught me the power of proper rest and helped me establish a healthy sleep schedule that has revolutionized my energy and focus. Claire’s expertise in breathing techniques has given me practical tools to find calm in moments of stress.”
– Member of a Christian Community, 2025 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“Being coached by Claire has been the most amazing privilege. I’ve been able to explore my purpose, my brokenness, personal challenges in my day-to-day life, my relationships, my boundaries. She is so good at listening non-judgmentally and explaining complex things (like transactional analysis) in easy to understand ways. Claire has also helped me to consider many aspects of my Rule of Life, which has given me the opportunity to pin down how I want to develop my relationship with God and what I want it to look like. And my relationship with God has developed a lot. My relationship with myself has developed too: When I’m being hard on myself now or when I’m frustrated by my lack of progress, I can hear Claire’s voice in my head encouraging grace which helps me to recognise God’s compassion for me. Claire is also a great example for me of someone who listens to God and relies on him to lead her. That’s invaluable.”
– Retiree, 2025 –

“I love Claire’s grounding techniques, breathwork, calm and wise insights and gentle delivery. Every session opens beautifully, closes well and has ground-breaking moments within it!”
– Therapist, 2023 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“It’s been helpful to connect the dots between the different areas of my life and reflect on the interplay between work and rest, productivity and Sabbath.”
– Freelance Writer, 2022 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“It;s always hard to be vulnerable and to uncover gaps, but Claire makes that reasonably safe. Sometimes I worry that because everything is so self directed I might be missing a huge blind spot that could use feedback- simply because I don’t see it to bring it up.”
– Healthcare Administrator, 2022 –
Coaching and Mentoring
“It’s amazing to me that talking about the things that are important to me and my challenges to implement the things I want to do– and being heard– have led to some really deep changes in my life and in my heart. I have found your questions very insightful and helpful. They’ve helped me to process and to think about next steps. As well as listening, reflecting, and asking questions, I have really appreciated your suggestions and personal experience, on several occasions.”
