Counselling Network – Find the right counsellor for you

As a Uni student I struggle with anxiety and have a dysfunctional family. Working with Kam helped me to understand my triggers, defences and attachment issues. I was able to work on my fears and insecurities without judgement. I felt safe, seen and heard. Kam has a way of making you feel understood and comfortable and less alone. She uses different techniques to help which i found helpful.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for helping me to see me for who i am. And for making me see it's okay to not be okay. You may say I've done all the work. But my journey of discovery, to find the real me...only began because of you.

Shabana is one of those rare people who truly listens and understands without judgement. From the very first session, she created a calm, safe space where I felt completely at ease to open up. She has a real talent for gently exploring and intuitively recognising the deeper areas where she can help you work through challenges and reframe your thinking, without ever making you feel pushed. Her support came at a time when life felt overwhelming, and she helped me slowly rebuild my confidence.

Jojo has help me get through so much unimaginable problems I have been ignoring. I am shy, quite and not very social, but talking to Jojo was easy, no pressure and felt comfortable. As a (undiagnosed) neurodivergent, she has really opened my eyes to help me understand why I have been struggling. Thank you so much Jojo I am so glad I came to you first. Helped me more than you know, giving me solutions and supporting me. Would always recommend you everytime.

A friendly, professional service that helped me get my worries into perspective and develop more positive ways of looking at things. The practical tips for managing anxiety proved useful. I’m very glad I took the step towards CBT that led to me meeting Andrew.

"Reena was incredibly knowledgeable and created a safe space in which all members of the group felt comfortable. Our group were able to experience a number of different breath-work practices with journalling and guided discussion been used to reflect on how these practices might be used and the physical and emotional journey it created for each individual. By the end of the course, we felt equipped with a new set of tools to help us as individuals better navigate the strains of daily life."

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.

I’ve been going to sessions with Lisa for almost a year and a half, after struggling with the effects of childhood trauma I needed someone to help me unpack everything and help to improve self esteem, anxiety, depression and relationships with others. Lisa has been a wonderful therapist and has truly helped me to change my life, how I feel about myself, understand my life experiences and understand how to better connect with others. She creates a warm and accepting environment, recommend.

Thank you. I genuinely couldn’t have found a better individual to speak to if I was still searching now. Sharon recognised bits and pieces I hadn’t even thought of before we really got talking. I opened up my world, Sharon listened carefully and acted with consideration not just for me but for those of importance to me. You are an incredibly gifted professional and I would not hesitate in recommending you.

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.
