Your therapist will provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental, warm and welcoming space for you, where you can work through your innermost thoughts and feelings.

Testimonials

“Really understanding and easy to talk to, I feel like I clicked with my therapist straight away. She is calm, patient, engaging, extremely warm, empathetic, kind, welcoming and made me feel safe. Working with my therapist was a very insightful experience. She not only was an active listener, but her responses were accurate and resonant with how I truly felt. I found her to be an extremely compassionate individual and led through the lens of the heart, not the mind. She gave me the tools to stay calm, regulated and most importantly to soften myself in times when I needed it most. I’m extremely grateful to my therapist for her help and guidance during a difficult period, which led to some really positive and far-reaching changes in my personal and working life. Appreciate my therapists’ time and advice and enjoyed my sessions with her. I cannot praise her enough for her support and depth of knowledge. I’m so grateful to her. Thank you.”

Frequently asked questions

How is talking to a therapist different to just talking to my family or friends?

Talking to a therapist instead of family or friends can offer distinct advantages. While family and friends can be caring, a therapist provides professional expertise with emotional support and brings an objective perspective. They are trained to understand and address a wide range of mental health issues and use evidence-based techniques-which is not always something family or friends can offer.

 

A therapist is impartial and neutral-allowing them the ability to offer objective guidance and a fresh perspective, free from judgment.  

Family and friends can be a good source of support, but therapists bring professional expertise to help you process your emotions and are bound by confidentiality laws, meaning they are legally required to keep what you discuss private (with a few exceptions). This provides a level of safety and trust that might not exist with family or friends, who may unintentionally share personal details with others.

 

A therapists provides a non-judgmental environment where you can express yourself freely and openly, without worrying about how your family or friends might perceive you. This is especially valuable when you’re dealing with difficult or sensitive issues that may be hard to discuss with loved ones. Some topics like family dynamics, past traumas or personal struggles might be hard to bring up with people close to you because of the fear of hurting them or disrupting relationships.

 

Sometimes, family and friends want to help by offering their own solutions or advice. While this comes from a caring place, it can feel overwhelming if you’re not looking for solutions but just need someone to listen. A therapist is there to support you without the pressure to ‘fix’ things.

 

Therapy provides structured support.  It’s an ongoing relationship designed to help you navigate challenges, unlike conversations with friends and family, which might be more informal and inconsistent.
