Testimonials from my therapy clients

Therapy has been a vital part of my recovery from depression, but perhaps more importantly in giving me the knowledge and tools to stay well.

I needed someone to sit outside of my head and observe and understand the patterns of thinking, identify the unhelpful/destructive elements and present them to me in a way I could understand how they originated, their impact on my daily life and wellbeing, and then learn ways to challenge, modify and learn to live more comfortably with them. Louise did this brilliantly, always tailoring methods to suit me. And I remain amazed at how much she remembered of everything I said over the months.

Thank you again for all your help, I was in a very bleak place before my treatment began, and whilst I still have work today, life is so much more positive and enjoyable as a result of my time in therapy.

~ Client in their 30s, CBT for anxiety and depression

I was a bit sceptical about what the sessions would do for me, but they have been amazing and have helped me in so many ways.

The whole experience has changed my thinking to be so much more positive and I have learnt so many new skills. I felt very comfortable in the sessions and I would recommend it to anyone! Thank you!

~ Client in their 20s, ACT for health anxiety

Louise I found the therapy sessions very useful, although difficult at times.

I continue to put my ‘new’ techniques to use and hope I will be able to resolve any issues that arise. I found you to be very caring, sincere, thoughtful and professional, thank you.

~ Client in their 50s, EMDR therapy for traumatic bereavement

Although I had some trepidation about having psychology sessions, my reservations were soon put to rest after meeting Louise.

Her gentle approach to the therapy sessions quickly helped me understand what the trauma of the accident had instigated in me. Throughout therapy Louise helped me identify the areas of concern and what approaches would be beneficial for me. She helped me to systematically work through these areas taking this slowly. Throughout all of my sessions I had adequate time to express my feelings, thoughts and discuss approaches with the aim to re-focus on what would help me the most to get back on track with my life.

I can only thank Louise for her time, patience and knowledge on helping me resolve the problems I was having and would recommend her to anyone.

~ Client in their 40s, PTSD and depression

I thought how you ran my sessions were perfect for me as they made me really think about and realise the behaviours/beliefs that were not helpful at all.

I felt the guidance and the print-outs you supplied were spot on. I felt that the sessions were discovery sessions and realisations of how negative some of my coping mechanisms and standards I ruled myself by were. I have to say I really enjoyed our sessions and looked forward to the next session. I would like to thank you for all your help.

~ Client in their 30s, CBT for anxiety and low mood

I didn’t think therapy would ever work but with CBT it has helped me look at myself and my responses in a different way.

It has helped me gain confidence and has made me start to enjoy life again, not dread things as I did before. Therapy has been the most helpful and most positive thing I have done in my life.

~ Client in their 20s, CBT for relationship and self-esteem difficulties

Therapy has made me look at myself from a completely different perspective and not having to be this ‘smiley person’ all the time anymore.

I have now finally managed to make peace with the issues with my family and am now starting to have a better relationship with my mum. I can now understand and learn to be with my feelings. I can’t thank you enough for going through this journey with me and helping me to get to a much better place in my life. I can now accept myself for who I am and not try to be what I feel everyone else expects/wants me to be. Thank you!

~ Client in their 30s, CAT for panic symptoms and relationship difficulties

I cannot thank Louise enough for the life-changing therapy.

When I started my sessions with Louise, I was very low, hopeless and doubtful about whether the therapy would help (having engaged in several therapeutic interventions elsewhere previously). However, here I am a year on and in a place that I never thought I could get to. It is Louise’s skill, professionalism and strength as a boundaried, compassionate and caring practitioner that has enabled me to get to where I am now. Thank you, Louise, from the bottom of my heart.

~ Client in their 40s, CAT and EMDR therapy for childhood trauma

Louise, I just wanted to thank you for the profound depth of insight and support I receive from our sessions.

The knowledge and experience you have as a therapist, alongside your gracious guidance provides safety and space where I experience learning, growth, healing and integration – I am so very grateful to you for what you facilitate in our sessions.

~ Client in their 50s, EMDR therapy for childhood trauma

Hi Louise!! Hope you are well. It's been about a year since I last saw you so I thought I'd give you an update about how I'm getting on because I'm SUPER proud of myself.

I'm pretty much able to do everything now without any problems. I've been to restaurants, cinema, bars and clubs. I even went to a ball and stayed out until 7am!! I started a new job and have made some amazing friends there. I have a boyfriend now who is really supportive and helps me out whenever things get difficult for me and I'm going to visit him in Italy tomorrow, on a plane, on my own :)

I'm really excited by my progress and just wanted to say thank you for all the help you gave me! I couldn't have done it without using all the techniques you taught me.

Thank you so much!
