Testimonials

  • Working with Louise and Joan has been genuinely transformative. Their patience, deep understanding, and the consistently safe and non-judgmental space they create have allowed me to make meaningful progress in ways I hadn’t even imagined possible. The work we’ve done together has had a lasting impact on my life, and continues to empower me to keep going. The care, dedication and skill they bring to their practice is so apparent. Whatever the situation, they meet it with compassion, thoughtfulness, and a genuine desire to understand. I’ve grown in ways I didn’t expect, and the insight and clarity I’ve gained through our work together has been truly life-changing. I feel supported, seen and understood - like we are part of a team and I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to work with them.

  • Initially I went to counselling with Joan to address sleeping problems. However I soon realised that old hurts from childhood were underlying difficulties I was experiencing in the present. I found my initial reticence at exploring these things was overcome as I was able to form a trusting relationship with Joan and importantly found acceptance from her for who I am. At times when I struggle to grasp what blocks my way to better self-understanding, Joan is able to lead me to greater clarity which in turn has helped release the blockage resulting in a huge step forward. It takes time to wrestle with conflicting emotions that emerge but it's an exciting journey if you give yourself over to it.

  • I first went to Joan at a crossroads in my life. Hoping to gain some clarity over my next steps and improve my overall mental outlook at my situation. Through our weekly sessions and constructive exercises Joan has helped guide me along this journey with results much greater than I could have hoped for.

  • I have been working with Louise for a number of years while navigating my way through a difficult life transition. Louise has supported me as I develop a deeper understanding of myself and is helping me develop stronger boundaries, while also improving my self esteem and confidence. I can see the progress I have made so far and I am confident with the tools that I have learned I will continue to grow in all areas of my life. I would highly recommend working with Louie, she is a caring and compassionate therapist. Louise provides a supportive safe space for you to open up and explore whatever life challenges you have.
