A few reflections from clients

“Josie has helped me to transform my life. It took me a very long time to reach out for help relating to a childhood trauma. With Josie’s kindness, patience, empathy and professionalism, I have been able to piece together the jigsaw pieces which had been scattered across my life. The therapy journey isn’t always an easy one. Josie is a wonderful companion to travel along with you on that journey and help you to stop feeling lost and to find the “self” you’ve been looking for.”
Client
“Working with Josie has been life changing for me. After 30 years of battling depression and anxiety in various forms I had pretty much given up hope. Then I was referred to see Josie and finally I have been able to see the reasoning behind my feelings. Her warmth, empathy, understanding, and amazing insight makes her an excellent counsellor. Her quiet guidance whilst allowing me to be totally open without ever feeling judged was incredible.”
Client
“I had always thought that therapy wasn’t for me and I went to my first few sessions believing that it wouldn’t help me. Josie was patient and let me go at my own speed. This really helped me to trust her and the process.”
Client
“Josie is brilliant! I have been working in Mental Health services for over 15 years and had always found the advice I gave hard to make a priority in my own life. Josie helped me to understand why this was difficult for me and that, in turn, has allowed me make changes and get my life back.”
Client
“I said I’d only do 3 sessions, and I ended up doing 9! Right in my exams too. Josie felt like a real person to talk to.”
