What do our clients say?

  • Counselling has enabled me to express feelings to be able to talk to someone who is completely non- judgemental and shows understanding. It has helped me feel less isolated. Helped me feel after so many years that I do have a voice”.

  • I now recognise triggers. I can use grounding techniques. I’m better at letting others know how I’m feeling and I have different coping strategies.

  • I was very unhappy, lonely, self-loathing and ashamed. With your help I have become more positive, feel happier, the things that happened to me were not my fault and I know that now.
