"We have been working with Claire for just over a term, to support our 5 year old with his speech development. He'd always had a number of sounds that were a bit off, and I knew that some therapy would be helpful, but it often seemed in the too-hard basket to start. Knowing now how easy and effortless and supportive Claire was, I wish we'd started months earlier. Claire is incredibly talented. My son eagerly looked forward to his weekly sessions with her, she captured his attention and interest in the sessions with her huge variety of fun activities to reward his efforts, and alongside that, has supported us as parents to continue the work at home. Thank you Claire - you've given him a gift that we are incredibly grateful for."

"Claire was such a ray of sunshine in our house each week. She is amazing with children and our daughter did so well with her speech work during her time with Claire. Thank you!"

"Fantastic results so far! The direction given by Claire makes continuing the therapy on my own so easy. We are thrilled with the progress our son has made so far and have found the goal setting of small steps helped us see the improvements he made which we may have missed had we not been so focussed."

"Working with Claire has been a truly transformative experience for our son and our whole family. When we first moved to Auckland from the United States, we were concerned about our son's expressive language. He was a shy and quiet boy who would get frustrated trying to form words, often using only single words to communicate. From our very first sessions, Claire was supportive, kind, and incredibly skilled. She has a wonderful way of making therapy feel like a "lovely play session," and she was amazing at explaining what was going on with our son's speech in a way that made sense. She gave us practical strategies, like Recasting, and clear goals that empowered us to help him every day. The progress he has made is nothing short of remarkable. He went from struggling to get words out to speaking in full sentences, using connecting words, and engaging in conversational speech and imaginary play. His teachers have noticed how much clearer he is and that he's now chatting with them by name. It’s been incredible to see him blossom from being reluctant to talk outside our home into a boy who freely speaks with his classmates and us. We are unbelievably thankful for Claire's guidance and support; she has made a lasting impact on our son's development and confidence."
