Testimonials

Shelley provided a safe space to talk about the issues I was struggling with. She helped me to work through problems, unpack what I was feeling, and think about solutions where necessary.

I think everyone should get counselling, if only to get a deeper insight into themselves and how they communicate and manage their relationships with others. I think it would make us all better people.

I found Shelley's presence very calming and I liked her active listening and the questions she posed that helped me reflect more deeply.

Shelley helped me to step back and take a broader look beyond my own projections of events, and to understand patterns of behaviour which had become problematic. She helped me to reach a greater understanding of why I react in certain ways to certain situations, based on childhood or other factors.

“Time was not helping me to cope or understand. Counselling helped me to accept I don't need to understand I need to learn to accept and move forward. Much of what I experienced is still sinking in, with discoveries about myself that were both helpful and insightful.”

No matter how I felt or what I said in the session, Shelley was always kind, accepting, and understanding. If I struggled to find the words, she was patient and encouraging; whatever I shared, she never judged me, and she responded in a thoughtful and empathetic way. She always checked she had understood what I was saying and helped me make sense of what I was going through. I felt heard and understood by Shelley.

“I would really recommend Shelley, I felt that I could really open up to her. She was able to challenge and support when needed. She supported me to go to places that held the key for me that I would never have went to without her, or even know to look at. I cannot speak highly enough of the whole process and the results which it has given me.”

“I am in a much better place now, counselling helped me to accept and deal with my relationship issues and taught me to be kinder to myself.”
