Client Testimonials

"Caroline has helped me understand my patterns of behaviour in a caring, considerate and compassionate way. She taught me how to be kind to myself and I now find it easier to stay grounded and in control of my feelings and can deal effectively with challenging situations. I'm now a much less anxious and stressed person after working with Caroline. She is reliable, professional and a great listener and I would not hesitate to recommend her."

"At first I was so nervous to talk about my past as it brought back so many memories, and it did take a few weeks to really open up as it takes me a while to trust, but Caroline made our sessions feel so safe and non-judgmental that it then became easier for me to open up. I have learnt so much about myself and have learnt different ways to understand my feelings, and also to be kind to myself and accept that any feelings I have are all ok. This is a lot to do with Caroline and all her help and guidance, she has helped me so much and I will be forever grateful. It was the best thing I have done, as now I can understand myself and my feelings more. So thank you so much for everything."

"I found Caroline to be an excellent counsellor. As one might expect, she is an astute listener who can pick up subtle subtext and cues, but she also has great skill in gently and helpfully offering challenges when required. I found her to be compassionate, good-humoured and at the same time able to offer insightful reflections which really helped me in my own journey and learning. I'd been experiencing conflicting emotions around a bereavement and saw Caroline for a period of months. One of the many positive outcomes from that time was being able to move forward with a fresh and more healthy perspective on many of the issues I'd previously been struggling with. I always felt in safe hands; I continue to benefit from the time I spent in counselling with her, and would thoroughly recommend her counselling to others."

"I was recommended to go to counselling by a friend after having a long conversation about my struggles. I didn't really know what to expect at first; it was all very new to me. What helped me is to have someone that really listens and understands. I'd highly recommend counselling to anyone. You seem to get a better understanding of yourself and how you deal with day-to-day life. I've benefited massively from counselling with Caroline's help and guidance to take the steps I needed to get myself in the right direction and back on track mentally. To someone considering counselling, I'd advise them to have an open mind and to be completely open and honest. My experience with Caroline has been a heartfelt one and I'm so grateful to have met her. She's helped me to have a more positive outlook on myself and life in general, and to be compassionate within my own mindset."

"I never thought I needed counselling, I thought asking for help was a weakness. I was struggling, as a father, with how best to support my family, how to support but not suffocate my children through difficult times in their life. I was nervous prior to our first online meeting, but Caroline immediately put me at ease and I knew I had made the right choice. Meeting in person was important to me. During our sessions I felt I could talk about anything that was on my mind. I never felt judged and the sessions never felt awkward. Caroline helped me look at things from a different view, and looked at my strengths, not just my weaknesses. The sessions are structured but feel like you are having a conversation in a safe, non-judgemental environment. After talking things through, I find that I am able to still support my family but in a much less smothering way. Rather than snapping, I try and talk things through. Thank you, Caroline, for making a difference to my life."
