"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
"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
"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
"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
"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 didn’t believe talking to somebody would help so much. Never been a believer in therapy now I am a big believer."
Counsellor: Paula
"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"
