Testimonials
I understand that choosing a counsellor is a personal and important decision. The testimonials below have been kindly shared by clients who wanted to reflect on their experience of working with me. Every counselling journey is unique, but I hope their words give you a sense of the safe, supportive and compassionate space I strive to create.
You are the unspoken hero of our school. Your impact on children and staff is so much more far-reaching than you’re probably aware. Personally, you have helped me, listened to me, and always been there. That means more than you’ll know. All the best.
Huge thanks for your amazing patience and kindness. With your help, I've gone from not knowing why exactly I was coming to therapy to now realising that it was exactly where I needed to be. You’ve put me back on the road, which, even though I know it’s a long journey, I don’t need instructions or a map to tell me where every junction will be or which way to turn. It will take me wherever I need to be. I don’t have to understand why, and I'm ok with that. This shift in thinking has been quite transformational for me, and I’m not sure I would have gotten there without your help. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for supporting me to develop and keep a healthy relationship with myself for the past two years.
I will remember not to be so harsh on myself, and I will continue to apply what I learned.
I want to say thank you so so so so much , I cannot describe in words how grateful I am to you. You are the only person in school who has helped me with my struggles and listened to me properly. I will never forget your help and kindness. You have even helped me to gain confidence to ask for things, to express myself. Thank you so much.

- Teenager
Thank you for the sessions we have experienced over the months. Thank you for making me comfortable so I can tell you my problems. Thank you for not judging me. Thank you for understanding my problems and for being kind. Thank you for helping me with my anxiety. Thank you for sharing some of yourself with me. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for everything, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for all your help and support over the last year. For being non-judgmental, welcoming, and holding a safe space for me to speak. Thank you for all you do.
There are a million things I would like to say to you, but I will start off with a big thank you for everything you have done over our time together.
I think without you, my journey would have been a little more difficult, and I wouldn’t be where I am today, happier and content for the future. You have taught me so much over our sessions, and I will never forget how important the little things are, like taking action and helping me with tools to avoid overthinking situations.
I will truly miss our time together, but I am grateful for the time we had.

Thank you so much for helping me with my anxiety and helping me understand what is going on with my brain and mental health. I really do appreciate what you do, you have a big heart, you're a great person, and you have truly inspired me. You make me feel like I matter. Moving forward, I’m going to make sure I take care of myself mentally and physically. I can’t thank you enough for your help.
