Testimonials
“Counselling helped me understand what the underlying issues were and why they were happening. The ways to deal with the issues were particularly helpful for when similar issues arise in the future”
Counsellor: Paula
“I didn’t believe talking to somebody would help so much. Never been a believer in therapy now I am a big believer.”
Counsellor: Paula
“Paula has given me the techniques, understanding and confidence to manage my anxiety and underlying faulty thought patterns. Although I had a rudimentary understanding of the various CBT techniques from reading books; I lacked the confidence and direction to apply these in a sustained basis. I found that working with a therapist/Paula was like having a coach that could guide me.”
Counsellor: Paula
“I would recommend to anyone who is being troubled by intrusive thoughts to make an appointment and not be embarrassed. This was my initial worry as my thoughts were quite bizarre and disturbing; yet I encountered a totally accepting environment.”
Counsellor: Paula
“I would like to thank Gaynor for her skills in counselling, they helped me at a very difficult time & now I have come through. Counselling has shown me that to seek help is not a weakness but about facing what life has dealt you & talking gives you the skills to cope. The rooms are very comfortable and welcoming. I would recommend this group of counsellors. Gaynor has been a rock & I thank her so much for me becoming a new & better person”
Counsellor: Gaynor
“I’d like to thank you personally for all your help. You’ve made a world or difference to my life ….Once again. I thank you. You probably saved my life”
Counsellor: Gaynor
“Counselling helped me in challenging my many negative thought processes and realising there are many positives about who I am”
Counsellor: Gaynor
“Counselling helped me to work on my abilities to cope with stress and anxiety and find a way to work on my relationships”
Counsellor: Gaynor
“I have found counselling has had a profound effect on my life, it has given me clarity and more understanding about the things that blacked my days. I found the pace helped me and feel that if I had been pushed I would have crumbled and not returned. I thank you for the care and consideration you gave to me”
Counsellor: Paula
“At the time I was going through a difficult time in my life and lurching from one crisis to the next. I felt like I was in a black tunnel with no light at the end of it. From the moment I met Paula I felt reassured. I never felt judged as I discussed my problems with her or that she was anything other than professional. I was able to say whatever I wanted to her, secure in the knowledge that it was confidential. She ‘got me’ pretty much from the beginning of our sessions and helped me see I did have a future. It has been a revelation having Paula as a Counsellor and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others”
Counsellor: Paula
“Counselling has been a very important learning curve for me both as a trainee counsellor and as a person. It has helped me to build better coping strategies whilst enabling me to see hidden areas I needed to work upon”
Counsellor: Paula
“Paula put me at ease the first time I saw her, she gave me an excellent service. I was so depressed I never thought I could see a light at the end of the tunnel but after a few short weeks Paula helped me see there was a light it was just finding the right path to take, to get here. So once again I just want to say a Big Thank You”
Counsellor: Paula
“Learning coping strategies like relaxation techniques and rationalising situations has helped me’. I can be more open with people now about things that are bothering me. I have been able to work on unhelpful behaviours.”
Counsellor: Paula
“Paula has provided incredibly helpful preventative measures, and therapy has allowed me to identify triggers and symptoms. I feel as though I have developed strategies through which to both manage and effectively combat what has been severe bouts of depression. Through engaged discourse and a warm environment, the therapy has been a perspective altering experience. A huge thank you Paula for the support and throughout this process. THANK YOU! It has truly given me confidence moving forward.”
Counsellor: Paula
