Testimonials

"Therapy helped me to process my thoughts in a clearer way. I'm now able to prioritise my thinking and not dwell on situations that are outside of my control."

"I can easily say that I got more out of the counselling experience then I bargained for. The skilful handling of the counsellor was a great experience. I felt she was able to obtain a good snapshot of my life journey in a short matter of time which was extremely impressive and made me feel acknowledged, She showed a consistent interest throughout each session and would share some powerful truths/insights that allowed me to see things in a way that I had not perceived before. Every session whether uncomfortable, emotional, or challenging was met with great understanding which I appreciated. The space that I was afforded became a zone I would look forward to entering and I am better off for having it. "

"What I've learnt has literally changed my life! Melanie was so helpful, so warm, so understanding and so thoughtful in all of her responses. I feel so equipped to move forward based on what she's taught me about myself, and how she's encouraged me. I've got a much more positive outlook than what I had a few months ago, so please could you let her know that she's amazing and I hope she never stops helping people!!!"

"Mel and I worked together for nearly 12months, I was very sceptical of counselling as I didn't have the best experience in the past. Mel however was able to allow me to see the true benefit of having a counsellor in a very difficult time of my life. 

Mel's work focused on me as person, and Mel never simply agreed with my actions or decisions but instead invited me to think differently, not only about myself but also about the people/ situations I struggled with. Mel's work has been fantastic in helping me understand myself and challenge myself to put me first. Mel's work challenged me but also supported me, and for that I am forever grateful, and would hugely recommend her service!"

Melanie provided an open space to vent about how I felt about my work and my relationships. She didn't judge me. She was flexible about how and when we met, as well as what we talked about. She helped me reflect on how I process difficult things, and I don't think I would have come to many of these reflections on my own. She was a realist and understood a lot of the problems I felt; she made me feel like what I was experiencing mattered. Thank you Melanie.
