What my clients say...
Rachel, Private Client
"Clare provided private therapy for my son and daughter aged 6 and 9. She has worked wonders, both my children feel safe and relaxed with her and I have seen their confidence grow. I couldn't thank Clare enough, she came into our life when we all needed a little help."
Parent of a Private Client
Our son suffers from anxiety and is highly sensitive. He struggles with social situations and lacks confidence and can get quite down about some things. We looked into therapy for him and liked the idea of play therapy as he is only 7. We then came across Little Oak Play Therapy and decided to give it a try. It is the best thing we ever did for our son and our family.
Clare has not only helped our son but her guidance also helped us as his parents and our whole family. We feel we are better able to guide him now and know how to deal with certain situations.
We have, and will continue to, recommend Clare to other people and are so grateful for everything she has done. If you are considering play therapy with Clare but not too sure then our opinion is DO IT!!!
The only negative to play therapy with Clare is our son was devastated when it ended and misses Clare so much.
Sarah, Parent of a private client
"Everyone comments how much more confident he is and although he still gets very nervous, he can usually recognise that, talk about it and still do the thing he wants to!
His huge barrier was joining a football team. He tried again last year but just felt too scared still to even join in with training. However, earlier this year he decided to try for a third time and has joined a lovely team with really supportive coaches. Today he played his third league match. He scored after 5 minutes and ended up as man of the match with 2 goals and one assist! It has been a massive confidence boost for him.
​
I just wanted to share and say thank you. A year ago he never would have dreamed of even training and now he is doing what he loves and enjoying it! You helped him loads and we are very grateful! I’m not sure how often you get to hear what happens after you finish working with kids so I thought you’d like to hear how he was! Here he is after the match today!"

"Clare came to work with one our most vulnerable and complex children. He was experiencing extreme difficulties dealing with his emotions and would have multiple meltdowns a day. This was having a hugely negative impact on everyone. You would not believe the transformation that this child has gone through! No meltdowns, he is playing with his peers, he is able to accept when he needs to tidy up and will even ask for some quiet time if he feels he is becoming frustrated. The work that Clare did with this child has had a significant and long lasting impact on not only this childs play skills, but his emotional and social well-being both at school and home, Thank you Clare, my classroom is a happier place because of your work.
