I have been working with Jennifer for over 3 years now with great results. She is a fantastic therapist – calm, insightful, and flexible. I’ve found our sessions to be incredibly helpful; would highly recommend her to anyone!

Jennifer has been a therapist to my son since he was in his early teens and has provided him and our family with valuable support throughout some difficult times for him. She built a great rapport with him straight away and it was very helpful for him to have someone he could trust and discuss topics with that he would not necessarily want to raise with his parents.

My son found school challenging and Jennifer helped him to navigate various difficult situations and ultimately to do well in his A Levels and make the move to university. Now, as an older teenager, he is able to recognise when he is starting to feel low and has been fortunate enough that Jennifer has been able to find availability to hold Zoom sessions with him whilst he is some distance away.

I would highly recommend Jennifer as a supportive and empathetic therapist for teenagers and young adults and also as someone who offers helpful suggestions, positive support and encouragement to the wider family.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Jackie, who made me feel at ease for my first session. I found her a great help and a good listener who guided me through some really tough times. Helping me to make sense of how I was feeling and a way forward which was a great help.

Ann supported me for over a year through a journey of grief after losing my father to cancer. I was feeling low and confused and she helped guide me through these feelings and learn to acknowledge and accept them in order to process them. Not only did she help open my eyes to how normal my feelings were but helped me navigate difficult relationships that I have with other family members. Talking about these feelings and opening up about some difficult memories from the past I have been able to improve my approach to these relationships. I can’t thank Ann enough for her patience and feel grateful for her guidance.

N.H.

I worked with Anna over the course of 8 counselling sessions and I have found these sessions extremely helpful. Anna set some clear objectives and an initial timeline for our work together. She was professional but also friendly and approachable so I found myself at ease very quickly and was able to share more and more over our sessions together.

I felt that Anna genuinely cared about my story and while she was a wonderful listening ear, she also gave me ideas and avenues to explore in order to move forward, by interpreting how my past experiences may have shaped the person I am now and the challenges I sometimes struggle with. Her warmth and her absolute belief that anyone can change and have a healthier relationship with themselves was a great comfort to me.

After 8 sessions, I find myself with some great tools to move forward and achieve the change I am seeking. Anna has taught me that the most important thing of all is being kind and patient to myself and I am very glad I worked with her. I would be completely happy to recommend Anna to anyone who is looking for a good counsellor.
