Counselling Network – Find the right counsellor for you

I did it! So thank you for all your help and support on this journey, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your encouragement.

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.

‘This is the best we’ve been in a long time. When I first called, I felt very low and thought we were going to separate. We were living parallel lives but now we feel together. Communication is much better between us’

Without Andrew, I’m not sure I’d be here. I had been suicidal and in a pretty sorry state, but with his experience, patience and guidance, I’m still here. My wife has her husband back and my children their father.

“I had been struggling with attachment issues, anxiety, and a sense of lack of purpose, which deeply affected my life and made dating particularly difficult. My sessions with Reena were truly transformative. Through our work together, I gained a deeper understanding of myself and uncovered that the anxiety, overwhelm, frustration, and attachment struggles I was experiencing stemmed from unresolved grief I had been carrying for many years. Reena helped me process and release this grief."

Sharon literally changed my life. After Havening the loss of loved ones I now revisit memories and feel love and happiness not grief and sorrow! Sharon completely rebuilt my confidence and self esteem…

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.

Nad is great at what he does. Not only does he listen in a non judgemental way but he also gives practical solutions to problems which is really helpful. He is good at helping you reflect on an issue and come up with a solution and put in practical steps to move forward. I struggled for years to get into exercising but now more motivated for first time in a long time. Thanks for the great support

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.

Kate is really skilled at what she does. I did not know what to expect working with her, I just knew that I wanted her attention on some specific things. What I received was beyond that, Kate has an exceptional skill in creating a welcoming space. She created the exact conditions that had me feel relaxed enough to talk about things I’ve never discussed with anyone else. And then so much poured out I thought it might never stop. She stayed with me through all of it. Cannot recommend her enough.
