“It has been a wonderful journey, and I am grateful for the confidence and courage that this experience has given me. It helped me soothe my inner tension and anxiety, and also helped me build confidence in my future life.

“We found counselling was a big help with our relationship in our marriage of more than 10 years. We had recently been going round in circles and repeatedly having the same arguments, but getting nowhere fast. Just having someone in the room to make sure we heard each other, and considered each other's feelings properly was a big help. After several weekly sessions we felt like we were back on the same team again. My first experience of counselling, but I would now consider it a valuable tool to come back to if I needed help with anything in the future.” March 2023
“Counselling has helped me to understand my emotions and how to deal with them. I am now able to set clear boundaries in my personal and professional life & also know the next steps to take.” February 2023
“My counsellor has been kind and empathetic and skilled in listening. I never felt judged or criticised by her and I have felt able to express lots of difficult emotions safely. I trusted her and the process has been very healing for me. I feel I can now move on with my life and let the things we have talked about slip away into the background. I feel very thankful. She has enabled me to find joy again in life, rather than feeling weighted down. I am lighter in heart and spirit. Thank you very much indeed.” I was very grateful that I was able to be seen by a counsellor very promptly. It has been a fantastic service, allowing me to book appointments when I was available and fitting in with my diary which had limited availability. It's been a fantastic service.” November 2022
“Really helped us identify why we were communicating how we were and enabled us to recognise the pattern and communicate effectively to prevent arguments. We are much better connected and empathetic towards each other” October 2022
“Better understanding of partner's ways of doing things. Relieved some pressure by allowing a forum to communicate more openly. Counsellor v patient and helped us to find more empathy.” May 2022
