Not all pain is physical or visible ........
A few months ago, dad started to suffer with severe panic attacks. The attacks were so bad that he was afraid to go to bed at night and therefore spent the nights in his chair. His mind would not let him sleep, which spiralled to him not being in a good place.
As a family, we have all visited Claire at some point for our physical ailments, every time with amazing results. We did not know how to help dad and were at our wits end. We turned to Claire for acupuncture to try and help dad relax. She was so kind, caring, understanding and thorough, putting dad at ease immediately. Claire helped dad to recognise that he was not on his own in the way he was thinking and she concentrated on the positives, taking baby steps.
As well as spending time with him and talking to him, Claire gave dad strategies to cope when he had a panic attack and made suggestions for future goals and steps forward, one at a time.
Dad made several visits to Claire, with each one seeing an improvement in his mental health, well being and confidence.
We cannot believe the change in him in just a few months. Dad has gone from someone who could not sleep or be left alone in a room for fear of panic, to his former, more confident self who now has no qualms about going to bed and who is managing his now very infrequent ‘wobble’ moments.
There are not enough words to thank Claire for her help in us getting our dad back and mum, her husband back. She is truly an amazing, professional and knowledgeable lady in so many fields. We cannot recommend her services enough.
