Some of our Testimonials

I had been gradually feeling that I was losing control of my life and feeling pretty rubbish. My doctor prescribed antidepressants and HRT patches and nothing really changed. I thought well that’s it then, this is what life is going to be like!. I was on sick leave and my employer actually referred me and I am so glad that they did.

When I met Michelle she explained that I didn’t need to put up with my symptoms. During therapy sessions I have learnt a lot about myself and how life events and the menopause is affecting me. I have also had my HRT changed which has helped. Sessions are helping me to take back control in my life and giving me confidence to get on with the next chapter. I cant thank Michelle enough for her kindness, advice and the information that she provided in a way that was not overwhelming. I would highly recommend her .

My therapist was very knowledgable, incredibly helpful and approachable. The therapy was very effective, although very challenging at times my therapist was very supportive and understanding.

I found my therapist to be very skilled in giving me the tools to improve my mental wellbeing. My therapist was very attentive and insightful and I felt very safe and ‘held’ by her

Michelle was excellent at understanding what I needed and which approach would be best suited to helping me. I feel really happy with the treatment I received and the tools I have been taught to help me in the future. Michelle is supportive, kind, speaks honestly and is very easy to talk to, my experience was very positive and I’d recommend to anyone.

I started my therapy experience not really knowing what the cause was of my Emetophobia and how I was going to manage it. We discussed treatment options of CBT and EMDR. I have been amazed how much of a positive effect it has had on me and I would never have thought that possible childhood trauma was partly at the route of my issue. I have learnt to manage my reactions to being uncomfortable in situations better and do not avoid going to places so much. I feel better able to cope with my fears and am confident this will continue to improve having been given the tools to help myself.

I have found my CBT sessions very helpful following my RTA. I can honestly say I didn’t think therapy would help, but I have been proved wrong!! I am a much more relaxed driver and passenger now.

EMDR helped me to undo my past (Birth trauma) so that I could focus on a better future. Looking back I can now see that the births of my children were traumatic and that I had tried to block them out as they were too distressing. Talking and processing the distressing memories helped me to reduce this and also to lift my depression. I would encourage all women to seek help and to be honest about their feelings.

Michelle has been absolutely invaluable and has helped me to overcome a number of painful and distressing events in my life dating back many years. I cannot thank her enough.

Initially when I was offered to see a therapist via work, I thought how could talking help but it has helped a lot. It has helped me to get back to work.

Michelle was very friendly and professional. she helped me with my anxiety, particularly regarding going away to university and equipped me with some very useful skills to take forward.

You made me see that not everything is my fault, made me look at the world differently and given me strength that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. For anyone that is sceptical about CBT , don’t be its changed my life and it will yours. Thank you.

Michelle was a compassionate and understanding therapist. She quickly grasped and understood the root cause of my anxiety and was able to make my thoughts and views feel validated in a non judgemental way and with kindness. Her techniques have given me skills to apply this compassion and understanding to myself and with the practical skills learned continue to support myself long term. It has been a life changing process.
