Stories of Transformation
Verified reviews from real clients who found support with our therapists.
“Had wonderful sessions which helped me deal with trauma and grief. Was able to walk me through different steps to take and what worked for me- so I could put myself first! I’m very appreciative and would recommend doing therapy with Chantelle”
“I met Maria at a time that I needed someone I could just talk too, I needed to speak and talk and have someone listen. I didn't need a magic cure or words of wisdom just someone to listen someone to not judge and allow me to open up. Maria helped with this, she helped me understand the loss and why I was feeling so sad, angry and lost. She listened and listened and allowed me to talk and let go. I had three session with Maria and was able to get what I needed for this. She has helped me understand my sadness understand what I can do to release I would 100% utilise Maria again if I needed more to talk about. Thank you for helping me”
“Michaela has helped my son through his anxiety so much that he has since travelled abroad alone twice and started a new college course where he has made new friends and is doing really well.”
“We found Mark was really accommodating with tines, created a safe and relaxed environment to talk openly in. Very helpful and supportive session”
“Victoria was a very good counsellor who listened and gave good advice. I didn’t really know what to expect and was nervous on my first visit. Victoria made me feel very comfortable and relaxed and I took on board what she said to me with a very positive attitude. Thank you so much for helping me. 😊”
“Victoria is such a lovely, warm caring person. She is non judgemental and so easy to talk to. I loved the fact she gives you homework each week to give you something to focus on.”
“I never thought I would need a therapist but sabine has helped me through the worst time I've had and continues to do so she is so easy to talk to thank you so much sabine”
“I knew that I wasn’t coping and a session on the NHS left me even more at odds and confused. I felt the best way forward was to have face to face sessions and I am so glad that I found Mark and that with his help and expertise I could truly focus on what I needed help with. At the outset Mark was friendly, relaxed and he really put me at ease so that I could be open and honest as well. In turn he gave me the skills and insight that I needed to cope with the now but also what was coming further down the line. Especially coming from a negative experience to an amazing one I am a great advocate for anyone who needs to talk do actively seek it out as you will feel the benefit. I can honestly say the sessions with Mark brought me back, reduced the weight that I was carrying and gave me hope. I can’t thank him enough and would recommend him in a heartbeat.”
“Mark has helped me in many ways. Whether it being developing myself as an individual or just being a good listener, his sessions are great. Mark makes you feel comfortable from the get go and sessions do not feel forced and I always come out of them feeling refreshed and it is just what I was after. I would recommend Mark to anyone who is interested in having counselling or therapy sessions as I have seen many benefits from taking them. He is easy to talk to and sessions relate to you, Mark caters to your needs and wants and conversations flow naturally and are not forced. 10/10”
“Sabine was a wonderful therapist for my wife and I be able to communicate openly and resolve certain issues. Sabine is very empathic and has a wonderful ability to gently steer conversation in a very adept way. I would highly recommend Sabine. Thank you for your help.”
“Ashleigh, really helped me through a period in my life where I was struggling, she helped me to understand what I was feeling/ experiencing and lead me on the path to being myself again. I highly recommend seeing Ashleigh if you feel in a similar situation.”
“Mark was very kind and patient, and easy to talk too. I terminated because it was difficult not to have my own transport.”
“These CBT sessions have been really helpful for me as they've helped me to dispel negative thinking and see things in a more pragmatic light. Allison is very open and honest and friendly and I feel very comfortable sharing intimate things with her. We also have a bit of a laugh and I think that helps too. She has helped me to explore the reasons why I've been feeling the way I'm feeling and helped me see that it comes from multiple sources and there's nothing for me to feel shame or guilt about.”
“The sessions certainly provided tools for my daughter to use to help with her anxiety”
“A really positive experience!!!! Being able to do the sessions from home made it much easier for us with work and the children. Sian was warm and fair to both. It was amazing how quickly she drilled down to find out both our perspectives, she also said that couple therapy it was like holding a mirror up to us both to see how our individual behaviour might not be helping the relationship, but she never once blamed either of us. Highly insightful!”
“I went for Counselling because my temper was starting to affect my relationship. I didn't really know what to expect but Sian was great. I learnt to notice when I was getting wound up before it got too far and deal with things differently. My partner has noticed a difference too which probably says more than I can. I also didn’t feel embarrassed, which is what I was worried about”
“Chantelle helped me realise that I could rationalise the situation with some guidance. I will definitely contact her again if I feel I her professionally to help me navigate anxious situations. Thank you.”
“I was a bit cynic about therapy but decided to give it a go as I was struggling with anger and getting irritated over quite small things. Sian was really down to earth and very easy to talk to and didn't make me feel like I was being judged. We looked at what was actually behind some of my reactions and how I could catch myself earlier rather than going from nought to 100. I now know that my reactions were usually irrational. I would recommend Sian to anyone who gets angry easily”
“Sabine was great for me and my wife. Helped us to communicate better and navigate some of the small and big stuff.”
“Maria was very kind and sympathetic, and very knowledgeable in analysing my issues and problems. The sessions were very relaxed and I felt at ease at all times. I now understand the issues which I have lived with all my life albeit i have found it difficult at my late stage in life to make much headway in addressing them. However, being more aware of them is someiof help.”
“Michaela was very calm and patient with my day who was struggling to engage. She was also flexible in how the sessions were run to accommodate my daughter which helped.”
“When I went to see Maria I had previously been seeing another therapist who was there just to listen. So I didn’t feel I was getting any benefit from seeing her. After my first session with Maria, I came away feeling much happier and confident within myself just from a few things she said to me. I didn’t end up needing many sessions as just a few of her pieces of advice changed my whole mindset of my life. I would 100% recommend Maria.”
“I only met Emma once for my furat time teuing therapy. Emma was lovely and welcoming to her home. Unfortunately due to personal reason the timing just wasn't right for me. I am sure Emma will be amazing supporting others moving forward and maybe myself un the future.”
“Elcin was fantastic, a very calming presence and very helpful for me at a particularly challenging time in my life. Highly reccomend”
