What our clients say
“I have greatly appreciated my time of counselling with Gill, it has been really helpful to deep dive into a number of issues that were current in my life but also historical. She was able to help me reflect quite clearly on those issues and give new language in facing and understanding the issues that affect me." November 2023
“It has helped shed light on a situation and made me clearer in my mind about the future of my relationship.” June 2023
“Counselling has helped me accept my limitations with long covid, and implement healthier measures to manage. Sessions and resources provided within the sessions have really helped me develop clearer thought processes and have a better understanding of myself and my relationships. Overall, I feel a general sense in wellbeing from attending counselling and am keen to implement measures learnt moving forward.” April 2023
“It has been a wonderful journey, and I am grateful for the confidence and courage that this experience has given me. It helped me soothe my inner tension and anxiety, and also helped me build confidence in my future life. At the end of the counselling, I recalled the state of entering the consultation room for the first time, and the contrast with this moment is very sharp.” March 2023
“We found counselling was a big help with our relationship in our marriage of more than 10 years. We had recently been going round in circles and repeatedly having the same arguments, but getting nowhere fast. Just having someone in the room to make sure we heard each other, and considered each other's feelings properly was a big help. After several weekly sessions we felt like we were back on the same team again. My first experience of counselling, but I would now consider it a valuable tool to come back to if I needed help with anything in the future.” March 2023
“Counselling has helped me to understand my emotions and how to deal with them. I am now able to set clear boundaries in my personal and professional life & also know the next steps to take.” February 2023
“My counsellor has been kind and empathetic and skilled in listening. I never felt judged or criticised by her and I have felt able to express lots of difficult emotions safely. I trusted her and the process has been very healing for me. I feel I can now move on with my life and let the things we have talked about slip away into the background. I feel very thankful. She has enabled me to find joy again in life, rather than feeling weighted down. I am lighter in heart and spirit. Thank you very much indeed.” I was very grateful that I was able to be seen by a counsellor very promptly. It has been a fantastic service, allowing me to book appointments when I was available and fitting in with my diary which had limited availability. It's been a fantastic service.” November 2022
“Really helped us identify why we were communicating how we were and enabled us to recognise the pattern and communicate effectively to prevent arguments. We are much better connected and empathetic towards each other” October 2022
“Better understanding of partner's ways of doing things. Relieved some pressure by allowing a forum to communicate more openly. Counsellor v patient and helped us to find more empathy.” May 2022
‘Things are much better now, thank you. It helped enormously just to be able to unburden myself and get some perspective from someone else, so thank you!!! And we are putting some of your suggestions in place.’ April 2022
“Taz created a safe, non-judgemental space for me, where I could work out thoughts and behaviours that I didn't yet understand or hadn't felt safe verbalising elsewhere. It has really helped me to know myself better and be kinder to myself and more open with myself. I know I'll take what I've learned forward with me and am grateful for the time we worked together.” April 2022
“It has helped me reduce my anxiety and increased my confidence. I’ve been able to understand situations better and how to deal with them.” March 2022

“It brought life back in our relationship and also boosted my assertiveness.” January 2022
“I feel like I took constructive steps towards breaking the self-destructive cycle I had been following. Counselling also helped me to understand my own thoughts, feelings, and needs better and consequently be less hard on myself in certain situations. I have refocussed and am working towards new, more attainable/specific goals in my personal life and also at work. I am enjoying my day-to-day more.” Deccember 2021
“Attending counselling has given myself and my partner the focused and dedicated space and time to communicate about things that otherwise might be painful on our own. Our relationship and communication has improved as a result of attending counselling, would highly recommend.” October 2021
“Counselling has helped me to clarify the problems I have been experiencing and has enabled me to identify the role I have been playing in my interactions with others. This has helped me to find more positive ways of helping others without being controlled by other people's anxieties and needs.” October 2021
“It has increased my understanding of who I am and given me tools to deal with negative situations and relationships” September 2021
“The sessions have been times when I could reflect on how I have been - this has shown me my progress - like stepping stones.” July 2021
“I have always known that I needed some help from an early age and I decided to start counselling sessions. Bay was a fantastic councillor and it was great to be able to openly talk about things that I had bottled up for years. She used practical methods to help me to understand my thought processes of healing my inner child and after 5 sessions I felt much calmer, less tearful and able to make more positive relationships as my fear of abandonment has been controlled and understood through understanding my inner child.” July 2021
"Our counsellor gave us some amazing insight, and also some very useful tools to use when we found ourselves struggling to communicate. We were worried about doing the sessions on Zoom, we thought we'd feel uncomfortable and awkward, but she put us at ease immediately.” June 2021
“Words cannot really describe how much counselling has helped me. I have learned so much about myself and my relationships. Counselling has deeply affected my self-esteem, my relationship with myself which has positively impacted every other aspect of my life. Before I started counselling I really did not know how fundamentally transformative it would become. May 2021
