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'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.

‘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’

We had couples therapy with Kam and she helped us to see our patterns, defences and how it impacted on our communication skills. She was able to untangle what each of us brought into the relationship- our own traumas and how that affected our relationship as a couple. We did some individual and some joint sessions which really helped move us forward. Kam has the ability to see things we didn’t and helped us to find our rhythm again.

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.

“From the very first session, I felt held and heard by Caroline in a way I hadn’t experienced before. There was a depth of care, stillness and respect that allowed me to speak about my husband and my grief without fear or rushing. It felt like a space where my loss truly mattered, where nothing needed to be fixed, and where I could finally let my guard down. I had never gone so deep, so quickly, and yet it felt completely safe.”

I spent close to 11 months working with Lisa, and from the beginning she made the sessions feel like a safe and welcoming space. I was able to share thoughts and feelings that I hadn't been able to before and at no point did she make me feel judged or criticised. Overall, the sessions with Lisa led to me making some big changes in my life, she supported me in a way that I didn't feel pressure to do or change anything I wasn't ready for, which has made me feel like the changes can be lasting.

Karen Jackson "Harry has an insightful, gentle presence with a broad range of transferable tools. I had the great fortune to meet Harry at a wellbeing fayre and instantly connected, which is very easy to do, he being such a pure and caring soul. His coaching was very relevant, insightful, and left me with many techniques that I can readily apply in my life. Highly recommend this learned, heart centered coach."

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.

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.
