Here is some of the feedback that I have received from clients:

• “I would like to thank you so much for what you have done and the very caring and sensitive way in which you have helped me find some understanding. I feel I have largely achieved my objective of understanding my inner anger and the few sessions we have had have really helped me a lot.  Just the opportunity to hear myself saying what has always been just inside has really helped.”

• “Thank you again for all your support over the last few months.   I feel  stronger, more self-aware,  and have a better understanding of, and ability to manage my head and my heart.  You have helped me to move forward.”

• “If you had asked me a few months ago, I’d have said that counselling wasn’t something that could help me. But I see things a lot more clearly and I feel more in control of my life now.”

• “I didn’t think that anything was going to help me with my grief and depression after my loss. But it’s true that talking about things really does help.  I’m getting better at coping now that I have someone to talk to about it.  Sarah really ‘gets’ how it feels to lose someone and understands what I’m going through.”

• “Your support and help have truly helped me to be the person I know was always there but you have helped me “believe” in her.  I am sad to say goodbye to you and I know I will shed a few tears but they will be tears of happiness. Thank you.”

• “I feel stronger and happier because I’ve realised that I don’t have to be a slave to my feelings.  I’m learning how to manage them instead of letting them control me. Thank you for all your support and kindness.”

• “I have fully realised the positive impact that coming to see you has had.  I really cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work, patience and good will.  You are exceptionally talented at what you do and I really hope you have many years of assisting some of the many people in the world who could use your help.  In my circle you have helped changed the stigma around counselling which may have contributed to a friend to seek a counsellor during tough times.”
