Debbie has been amazing at enabling me to talk through issues that I’ve never been able to talk openly about before. I’m so grateful for all her help so far.

Having not considered myself a ‘therapy person’ I found it difficult to bring myself to even call up about booking an appointment. I chose a therapist out of a few names provided and honestly everything changed for me once I started my sessions. Lesley was my saving grace in what was probably the toughest year I’ve experience so far in my life; I was apprehensive to share, to admit I didn’t have everything under control or figured out but literally from 15 minutes into my first session all of those feelings melted away and I was able to work through these obstacles in a safe space with the most incredible guide I could have asked for. To describe Lesley’s sessions as life-changing is no exaggeration. I am forever grateful for having found her.

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 had never experienced a talking therapy before so was a new experience for me. I had imagined it would be directional with the therapist telling me what to do to get better. Over the weeks. I came to realise the better approach is to find the strength in yourself.

I cannot thank Lara for the counselling services she provided. I was dealing with relationship issues and life decisions and she enabled me to understand why everything links back to knowing and understanding your values. In a period of 4 months she helped me understand myself, my emotions and thoughts which in turn improved my relationships. Thank you!

When I first started therapy, I was struggling with body image, low confidence, and depression. I spoke to myself so negatively and felt completely stuck. Working with my therapist has truly changed my life. I’ve learned to be kinder to myself, my confidence has grown so much, and I no longer carry the same heavy, negative thoughts. I feel lighter, happier, and finally at peace with who I am.
