Counselling Network – Find the right counsellor for you

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the consultation session last week. It was really helpful, quite possibly the most helpful session I’ve had so far regarding my OCD. It was genuinely so insightful and made so much sense to me, and confirmed that I’ve made the right choice in seeking different therapy for my OCD

Working with Helen has been transformative for me. From the very first session, she helped to create a safe space where I felt heard and understood. Helen's insightful guidance and practical strategies have empowered me to navigate through challenges with newfound clarity and resilience. Her approach has not only helped me address specific issues but also encouraged personal growth and self-discovery. I am immensely grateful for Helen's support on my journey towards healing and self-improvement

I've changed in so many ways, I feel so much lighter. It's not so much of a traffic jam in my head now. I have been in counselling since I was 18 (now age 38) and this is the only one that's ever worked, it's been life changing. I’ve never done the exposure hierarchy before and that really worked for me to tackle my anxiety rather than just coping strategies.

Meeting regularly with Piers through a difficult period of work-related anxiety has been enormously helpful. Piers has a deep and rich understanding of psychological theory and therapeutic approaches and has flexibly applied these with me as my needs have evolved. Piers is an attentive listener and I have always felt heard, understood and supported whilst also gently challenged when appropriate. I highly recommend Piers as a counsellor and therapist both for his skill and his kindness and can sa

Nad will go above and beyond the scheme to help you. Life is easy and he will help you to find the way to resolve your issue. He asked the right questions. Most important Nadeem will give you skills for life to understand yourself and your choices. Very professional manners. Highly recommend.

Thank you again, Michael, for the past year of therapy. It has been invaluable and has given me the foundation I need to continue growing, learning, and investing in myself. With your guidance, I have gained a much clearer insight into myself. For the first time in my life, I feel at peace.

"Working with Piers gave me a genuinely different way of approaching my anxiety. The ERP framework he introduced has been the most practical thing I've tried, and it's something I'm still using and building on. He is very welcoming and easy to talk to and I would be happy to recommend him to others."

I am very grateful to Sharon for the effort she made with me. I have seen OHU counsellors and NHS counsellors too but I would say from the CBT point of view Sharon was really good in her field, she was understanding, knowledgeable and professional. And by far the best therapist I have interacted with on a CBT front. My panic attacks and anxiety were illnesses related and very severe. I would definitely recommend engaging in a few sessions especially if you are experiencing complex issues.

I am very grateful to Julia for her reliable, empathic and skilled approach to my therapy with her. She has enabled me over the weeks to challenge my own thought processes

We came into couples therapy with Kam due to infidelity and she helped us to hear each other without things escalating. We found her approach very real, and fair. She never took sides and was able to help us to navigate a very difficult time in our marriage. We chose to stay together and have learned to move forward by processing the past. We couldn’t have done this without Kam’s support.
