'The course contained excellent content and flowed perfectly. It was also refreshing that your power point was used more as an aid to delivery rather than being saturated in content and inducing sleep. Your delivery style is perfect, relaxed, empathetic and engaging. As a trainer myself I can honestly say that your sessions were amongst the most enjoyable that I have ever attended, Thank you.'
Training Officer Victim Gateway Service Staffordshire
'Claire has worked over the past year supporting our local system to develop a Trauma Informed work plan. She has been very helpful, with great external knowledge and much appreciated by the group.'
Aileen Edwards, Co-Chair Trauma Sub Group, Integrated Care Board, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucester
'Claire has worked with us at Shelter to become a PIE organisation for several years now. She is a real expert, committed to psychological safety, and has really helped us understand how to support our staff better and the people who use our services. But the best thing about Claire is her brilliant way with people'
Director of Services Shelter
'The reflective practice session was like stumbling upon an oasis in the desert - a chance to drop the pretence that you're on top of absolutely everything and take a breath. An opportunity to be true to yourself about how you're feeling about work, yourself and the very many other complications that fill our lives. A time to focus just on yourself and very likely discover that many colleagues feel the same way. That in itself is reassuring. I really recommend it.'
CEO Wightdash Charity
‘The strengths-based workshops were extremely useful, helping me realise where my strengths lay and what I was missing from my role. They gave me encouragement to apply for a job that was a step up.'

'Your role modelling of psychological safety made it easier for people to engage with,
what could be an intangible and potentially emotive topic'

Service Manager, Signposts
'Claire’s unique experiences; commissioner, service provider and passionate long term advocate of PIE’s made her the perfect choice to create the toolkit. We now reference it in all procurement for rough sleepers services.'
Westminster Commissioning Manager
'Light-bulb moment! A big thank you to Claire for no-nonsense training on becoming a PIE.'
Mental Health Worker, Crisis
'In a training or reflecting environment, Claire has a natural way of putting participants at ease; it could be her smile, her laugh, her warmth, her professional casualness and calm, or maybe it’s her belief and respect for the people “doing the work”, supporting others which gives a felt sense of “you’re welcome here'"
