"Carole was recommended by a family friend. I had been suffering for several months with stress and anxiety at work. I felt better going to someone recommended.
My family and friends had been really worried about me, but I didn't realise how bad it had got until it felt like it was too late. I put these feelings down to being overloaded working very long hours, no breaks, lack of management and then sudden changes in the management structure. I had been advised by my GP to take a break from work and was signed off for several months with regular appointments to check my progress. My GP was very supportive of my sessions with Carole.

Carole was a massive source of advice and reason, she helped me to come to terms with how I was feeling. After being off for a couple of months and working on my confidence and positive thinking I began rationalising with Carole's help. I came to the decission to leave the company. I felt confident to immediately apply for another position that suited me well which I got. Carole then helped me through the start of my new role to make sure I worked on my anxieties and to rationalise before reacting. This enabled me to approach colleagues and my new boss with any problems and concerns I had before they got out of control I now feel in a much better place. I had a lot to offer. I have come to the end of my regular sessions with Carole, however, I know I will keep on board all that she has has taught me to help me be a stronger person in the future. I have no hestitation in recommending Carole for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation" Anonymous
"When I first met Carole I was broken like a fragmented television and when I finally decided to have counselling I wondered what on earch she would make of me. I was amazed because it didn't matter that first day how many strands I talked about switching from one to another, she still understood me. Eventually I separated the strands. I noticed that many them had similarities, for instance my wanting to please people, further pieces of the puzzle kept emerging until I reached a place of evolving, knowing and undertstanding me. Carole is so patient, so understanding I can so recommend her." Anonymous

"You probably won't remember me but I called you one day when I was having a melt down. Even though we never met and I never had counselling with you. Your kindness will come back to you" Anonymous

"I attended my initial appointment with Carole under a black cloud feeling wrong, weak, stupid and vulnerable.
I found Carole to be very empathic, non-judgemental, friendly and welcoming. For me Carole provided a good balance between knowing when to challenge and when to back off. I greatly appreciate the time she took to explain , share and provide me with the theoretical insights and additional reading, to enhance my understanding of myself, the consequenes of my actions and those of others around me.
After months of counselling I left feeling the complete opposite from my starting point. I am now confidently able to draw upon the knowledge skills and insight I have gained to tackle the challenges that I face when dealing with other people, family and friends and associates" Anonymous
"I went to Carole feeling like I was a mess - my marriate had ended, I was in a lot of debt. I had self esteem issues and really felt at rock bottom.
After each session - which often ran over - I felt like I had not only off-loaded everything that I had been building in my mind but I had learned a lot. I had taken steps forward and I left her house feeling ready to takle the next week ahead. I went to each session knowing I would make progress.
After only a handful of sessions I felt like I had the strength to get myself the difficult road ahead. I am also now much better equipped with knew skills and an awareness to see me into my future.
Without Carole's assistance I would be in a darker place. I would recommend therapy to anyone to just maintain a healthy state of mind, let alone dealing with the bigger stuff life throws at you. In my case I really worked through some ig issues dating back years and I am a better person coming out the other side" Anonymous
