"Our son had speech and language therapy with Claire over several years and his speech has vastly improved. He is now much more confident in all aspects of school and home life. Claire is extremely professional and has a great ability to connect with children, making the sessions fun and varied. We always received a very detailed feedback from each session via email and we felt extremely supported and able to ask questions if needed. Our son loved his sessions with Claire and we would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a speech and language therapist."

"Claire is incredibly approachable, kind, and nurturing, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. She is generous with her time, ensuring that everyone involved understands the aims and learning trajectory for each child she works with. The communication between Claire, parents, and teachers is highly effective, as each session is followed by a detailed write-up outlining goals, targets, and activities to support learning at home and within the classroom. Her sessions are always engaging and tailored to each child’s needs, and it’s clear they enjoy their time with Claire, returning with big smiles and a strong sense of achievement. All of the children I have referred to Claire (4 – 5 year olds) have made significant progress in a short amount of time, which is truly outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Claire more highly—she truly has superpowers in this area of development and support."

"Claire was recommended to us by numerous professionals when seeking help for our 5 year old daughter, who was struggling with speech and consequently phonics. It is without exaggeration when I say Claire completely transformed both our daughter's confidence and ability. Her professional, fun-loving manner made O feel relaxed, turning learning into a game, and her wealth of expertise made even the biggest hurdles surmountable. O is now meeting and surpassing her age-appropriate milestones, and I truly believe she got there because of Claire's work. I would recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation. She's a true gem in her field and our family are very grateful for her."

"Claire provided Speech and Language therapy (SALT) to both of our children. She came recommended by our school and introductions were made. Throughout their journey with Claire, both boys looked forward to their sessions every week. In a playful but educational way, she focused on areas such as inferential reasoning questions, narrative (who/what/where/etc), feelings and emotions and following 3 / 4 step instructions, to only name a few. Claire's communications were brilliant. She would always provide email feedback after every therapy session, with valuable insight and some practice areas to focus on at home. We are grateful for the help she provided and the progress we have seen thanks to her sessions. She left an impact as they remember her well and still ask after her today!"

"Claire worked miracles with my son's speech clarity and in a short space of time too. With her patience, sense of fun and wealth of knowledge, not only did my son look forward to his weekly sessions, but through Claire's summaries, I felt empowered to help him at home. To be honest, he was rather disappointed when his, 'Games and fun with Miss Claire' came to a close. Thank you, Claire."

- Jayne Symons (parent and teacher)

"I cannot recommend Claire enough. She is an outstanding speech and language therapist who truly excels in her field. I am always impressed by her professionalism and the calm, gentle demeanour she brings to her work—especially when interacting with children. Claire’s kind and nurturing approach creates a comfortable atmosphere, making it easier for young children to engage and learn. Claire possesses a wealth of knowledge in her area, and her teaching techniques are effective and tailored to each child's individual needs. It’s clear that she is passionate about helping children overcome their speech and language challenges. Thanks to her efforts, so many children have made wonderful progress."

"Claire has been fantastic working with my son for the past couple of school years. He is now 6 years old and the improvement in his language has been incredible. He absolutely adores his sessions with Claire and the fact that she makes it feel like such fun, a treat really each week - makes learning for him so accessible and positive. Claire provides really detailed feedback after each session and also materials to help support him at home. I couldn't recommend Claire's support more highly."

- Greg Sadler (parent)​

​​​

"Claire has worked to help me with several students over the past four years and it is always a pleasure. The children adore her and her play-based strategies. The follow-ups after sessions are really useful, and set targets that I can help children with in the classroom too."

- Lucy Liddicoat (teacher)

​​

"I was so worried about both my Son’s and Daughter’s delay in speech development and they started to become self conscious and loose confidence as a result. Claire was so knowledgeable, kind and reassuring, she explained things so well which gave me utter confidence in her and her work. My children absolutely loved Claire, they looked forward to their sessions with her and would run and hug her whenever they saw her, even walking around the school! Claire worked them through their difficulties and built their strength and confidence whilst doing so. I can’t thank her or recommend her enough.​"

- Charlotte Lane (parent)

​​​

"Claire is a fantastic speech and language professional. She took our daughter, who had a structural issue with her mouth, and subsequently an operation, from being difficult to understand, to having clear and defined speech, even with more complex words. This was a huge boost to our daughter’s confidence. Highly recommended."

- Andrew Mason (parent)

​​​

"Claire is gentle and encouraging to even the most apprehensive of children and extremely professional to work with. I couldn't think of anyone I would rather have offer Speech and Language provision!"

- Jennifer Caverhill (SENDCo)

​​​

"Claire has worked with our son for a number of years and provided excellent speech and language therapies. She has been so incredibly reliable, helpful and genuinely cared about our son even when he left his school. I would highly recommend Claire and she will build a wonderful relationship with your child. One that he/ she will never forget."

- Catherine Parker (parent)

​

"I cannot speak highly enough of Claire. Initially we were unsure of how the sessions would go as our son had a severe speech delay but from our very first session, it was clear that she possesses a wealth of knowledge and more importantly for us a genuine passion for helping others. Claire's kind and compassionate approach immediately put us at ease. Claire takes the time to understand individual needs, listening carefully to concerns and tailoring her therapy sessions with thoughtful precision. Her patience and encouragement have made a huge difference in our progress!"

- Lisa Riley (parent)​

​

"Claire Sinclair has been an incredible Speech and Language Therapist for my son. Her sessions are fun, engaging, and tailored to his needs, making each one a positive experience. We’ve seen noticeable progress in his communication skills, thanks to her creative and patient approach. Claire’s ability to connect with children and make learning enjoyable has been truly invaluable!"

- Charlotte Jones (parent and Head of Academic Support and SEND)

​

"Claire has carried out assessments of and worked with several pupils from across the school and she has been amazing. The pupils have all made progress with their speech and language and love going to her sessions. She gives the parents detailed reports after each session and shares these with school so that we can all work together to support the pupils. I would recommend Claire to anyone looking for a speech and language assessment or for support for their child."

- Laura Watson (Director of SEND)

​

"We engaged Claire to work with our pre-school aged son Max who had language delay. Claire has a very calm and gentle approach which was a great fit for Max who was really anxious. Under her care Max grew from a frustrated child who struggled to make himself understood and often wouldn’t even try to speak into a child who was able to speak in short sentences and communicate his needs. His confidence improved significantly with Claire’s efforts to build him up. As well as bringing about a significant improvement in Max’s speech, Claire was also a source of support and reassurance to us, patiently answering all our questions. In addition to being very good at what she does professionally, Claire also really cares about the children she works with and by extension their family. This is amply demonstrated by the fact that even after she stopped regularly working with Max she has offered occasional top up sessions and has been willing to talk through issues or liaise with Max’s teachers as things have arisen. We feel very grateful we found her and really couldn’t recommend her highly enough."

- Rebecca Shortt (parent)

​

"Claire has been working with my daughter for 4 months now and she has made such progress. My daughter is always so excited about their sessions together, and so enthusiastic to tell me all about what they have done. It’s an absolute joy to see her speech, and confidence, flourish. Thank you!"

- Hannah Hayden (parent)
