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.

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.

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

When I met Sharon I thought she didn’t look or act what I thought a counsellor would be like…I immediately felt a trust. Each week I felt happier. Work paid for my session and on my 8th and final session I was walking on air and returned to work after 7 months of being signed off! I can’t thank Sharon enough.

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.

Julia was amazing and helped me so much to pull myself through an awful dark year. Without her help and understanding without judgement I don’t think I would be here now. She absolutely made a difference in my life just when I needed it most. I will be eternally grateful that Julia came into my life.

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.

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.

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.

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.
