See what clients say about the services we provide
Thank you. I achieved the goals I set out to achieve with my therapist. She is easy to talk to, practical, gentle but firm and goes the extra mile. Most importantly, I am heaps better for having used this service. I now have lots of strategies to help me through challenging times.
My therapist is a good counterbalance to my energy, she forces me to slow down and consider things, and doesn't let me skip away from a question or observation. She's been incredibly positive about my successes and has also made me acknowledge them to myself, something I don't often do. She's also taught me to watch my self-talk. I feel like she really gets me.
Seeing my therapist is definitely helping me to start to put into action concrete steps to improve which on my own I had sort of contemplated but couldn't bring myself to do anything about. I get exceedingly embarrassed very easily so it is testament to my therapist’s very approachable nature that I feel quite comfortable talking to her about almost everything.
I am delighted to have found my therapist. She's a very approachable therapist who goes out of her way to help and genuinely wants to help.
Very pleasantly surprised that my therapist responds to emails between sessions and even sends emails to check up on how you are - I didn't expect this of a therapist but it is comforting and gives the impression she really wants to help.
My therapist cares about YOU and YOUR problems. When you’re feeling bad it can be hard to wait for a weekly visit so she will send you little tasks or things to read. She hasn’t forgotten about you or is just there to take the money. She is certainly the best therapist I have had, although I hadn’t thought that I had had bad therapists before meeting my therapist. Therapists in my past had just listened while I cried and moaned but this therapist wanted to point me in the right direction so that I would heal myself without having to rely on others.
I feel very heard, safe, and seen with my therapist She is easy to talk to and I am super happy with our sessions so far.
