Claire helped me take the right steps towards overcoming my eating disorder which I had dealt with for 6 years. She helped me to truly understand what the roots of my issues were, including control issues; and showed me how to use various coping techniques and tools, to help me live an actual life again-and see a bright future for myself, which I didn’t think was possible. One thing I really respect and admire about Claire is her ability to be so open and honest about her own personal journey, which made me relate to her a lot more, as well as open up to her. My experience with Claire was positive, encouraging and life changing.

My intense need to control EVERYTHING and operate from an irrational fear of failure, diminished. As did my anxiety and panic attacks. I really benefitted from using the tools you gave in session to slow my system down-to calm anxiety and also learn to get myself out of panic attacks. Long term, using specific tools repeatedly, I found I had far fewer attacks. My binge-eating, and sugar and caffeine cravings, which helped me escape my constant feelings of fear and failure, improved hugely, as did my need to watch TV for hours, to fritter time away, escape from life, and avoid just about everything!
Releasing behaviour patterns really got to the source of all these symptoms-and what also helped was learning to release my emotions instead of bottling them up; I didn’t know how to deal with the pressure I felt inside, and that’s become better.

I became better. After 5 to 9 months of sessions, using your tools and learning how to manage my symptoms, I was calmer, more focussed, more grounded and present in my environment. I was not nearly so distracted, and I got stuff done. I could carry out tasks. I started to drive again; my seizures abated almost completely (I maybe had one twice a month instead of almost all day, every day) and slowly weaned myself off one of the seizure meds. My sleep apnoea abated, so I could stop using the machine at night that kept me breathing. The best is having the knowledge of what to do-to help myself if the old symptoms return. After a year, I’m able to find purpose and look at working for money! I’m ready to move and get on with life. Not just cope.

I used tools as you said last night before bed and immediately, I felt a sense of peace wash over me- my whole body just relaxed, and my mind went blank. I’ve never experienced anything like it… it was like my whole being was at rest. My mind kept popping up the thoughts I’d had been playing the whole day in my head, but there was like a barrier between my mind and body. There was no penetrating the peace, and I felt ‘normal’. It was amazing!!! I’ve heard about being at peace and never really thought too much about it until last night. It was an amazing experience.

I am dying in my deepest darkest days…
There is fear, terror, anxiety and hopelessness. Guilt, shame, suicidal depression, frustration, loneliness, exhaustion. My family and friends surround me; we are all in a state of total desperation.

I go to the brink of wanting death. But I truly want balance, stability, emotion, honesty-and LIFE.
I become desperate-because I’ve tried everything: this system (Frequency Balance) and Claire are my only and last hope.”

(After therapy) “The gift in all of this is and in all the work done, is that I am now in control of my Bipolar and it’s no longer in control of me. I fully believed in Claire’s Frequency Balance system to break me free from this Bipolar nightmare that has been my life for 22 years; and every day I use Frequency Balance tools and techniques to stay stable. She has changed my life.

I broke my arm quite badly in April of 2023 in an accident and was in plaster for two and a half months. I had an Xray to check on the progress of the healing 6 weeks after the break: can you believe it, NOTHING had healed! My doctors were very concerned.
I’d been working with Claire from Feb 2023 on my mood fluctuations, depression, anxiety and other symptoms including Body Dysmorphia-and she felt that I’d ignored, almost ‘bypassed’ my arm healing because I wanted to recover and get back to my life and work too quickly. ‘Cut the arm off’ effectively as a ‘nuisance’ and something hindering me. She suggested ‘reattaching’ my arm via focussing on it, and giving it attention and love, every day, consistently. And three weeks later-a full recovery…I was ecstatic!

I had the privilege of working with Claire as my counsellor (throughout my cancer journey), and I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact she has had on my life.  One of Claire's greatest strengths is her ability to actively listen.  She understood the underlying emotions and concerns.  Her empathetic approach made me feel truly seen and validated, fostering a sense of trust and connection that is crucial in a therapeutic relationship. Claire’s genuine compassion and commitment to her clients is evident, and thanks to her guidance, I have made significant progress in understanding myself, managing emotions, stress and building healthier relationships. Claire will be in consultation with my daughter as well.  I have full confidence in her as her therapeutic prowess is evident and her Frequency Balance system is truly AMAZING!  I would recommend her therapy to anyone who is interested in a different approach.

I am an actor and have struggled to not only process my emotions but also access them when I need them for performance. I also tend to disassociate and become not present, when under pressure, especially at auditions (which are such so key in obtaining work in my job) and this has cost me roles. Through understanding Claire’s work and my symptoms, and how to counter them by using Claire’s tools, I have found my focus and emotional recall improving in leaps and bounds. And also conveying emotion in my voice. Since acting is my business, Claire has helped me grow tremendously!

I recently signed up for Claire J. Gilchrist’s online course, ‘The Simplicity of Stability’, wearing two hats. As a therapist and someone who deals with their own mental health issues, I was curious to discover what she would be imparting which could enhance my processes with my clients, as well as increase my personal mental health stability. I had followed Claire’s work for some time and already knew her to be a therapist and researcher of integrity and compassion.
The course lives up to its name in every way, from its presentation and interactive components to the notes and tools which arrive after each session.

Claire’s warm, relaxed, clear and simple presentation style is perfectly pitched to be accessible to those with mental health conditions, as well as valuable to mental health practitioners. She is also an excellent discussion facilitator who truly listens to and hears what her clients are asking. Her approach both demystifies and normalises mental health issues and concerns while providing practical simple tools for daily use. Most importantly, she opens up the potential for her clients to realise that they do have some control over their lives, rather than being victims of their condition.

I highly recommend this course to anyone who suffers or works with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ADD or BPD

Claire Gilchrist's 'Simplicity of Stability' course was transforming. I got to understand my Bipolar mind and how to take care of it, through using simple tools like a healthy diet, breathwork, grounding, emotional processing and assertive communication, for example.

The 7 week Facebook group/ Zoom course is facilitated by Claire who has 20 years of counselling and coaching behind her, including 5 years of intensive research into problematic mental health issues. The modality she has crafted out of this is called Frequency Balance™.

Our group was purposely small so that each person's situation could be shared, and discussion held, as to how to improve one's life. My whole body and mind is on its way to healing. 
Such useful exercises were given, which one can incorporate into one's daily life once the course finishes. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone with mental illness (or not) to undertake this course.
