What My Clients Say

“The therapy was brilliant. I had a little bit of counselling in the past, but this really helped to not only put things into perspective, but to help work through them. Lorraine was brilliant, working with me to honestly help, not only working with me, but making the therapy informative and helpful. The sessions were brilliant!.”

“Overall it helped me to unravel all the ‘demons’ inside my head or in my imagination. By analysing each of my different issues our discussions did help me to take stock, sweep aside the ‘debris’ and to focus on the issues of concern and to then rationalize and risk-assess each issue as it might apply to my day-to-day living environment and circumstances. The rational thinking enabled me to re-establish some self-respect and self-belief, something which had been missing for a long time, which enabled me to both acknowledge and managed each issue in a more positive and constructive way. Your friendly, respectful and warm approach to understanding and managing difficulties certainly facilitated a very open, candid and sometimes very personal, exchange of information and views. The ‘virtual’ communications between us each month in no way inhibited our discussions and the outcomes.”

“The therapy has helped me to put the accident into perspective and into the past. I no longer feel nervous about having another accident. I found your approach both friendly and professional, you are an easy person to talk to.”
