Counselling Network – Find the right counsellor for you

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

"I wanted to share our experience with Reena, who has been working with our son over the past year. She has such a wonderful way with kids, and my son really connected with her right from the start. What really matters to us as parents is that our son genuinely looks forward to his sessions, and we can see how much he's grown and made progress. Reena has earned his trust and their work together has really helped him. He often says that everyone should have someone like Reena in their life."

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.

"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."

"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 have been a user of Jo's services for a number of years now. As a neurodivergent woman I quite often find it difficult to express my feelings clearly, but Jo has always understood me completely. She is professional, very empathetic, extremely patient and never fails to help me with any issues I might have. I can't recommend her enough!
