‘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’

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.

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."

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.

"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 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.

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

"I've used Harry as a life coach over the last few years with my relationships and career advice, and he's always offered reliable suggestions to help me find solutions to my problems and make better decisions along the way. Definitely recommend him to anyone in need."

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the consultation session last week. It was really helpful, quite possibly the most helpful session I’ve had so far regarding my OCD. It was genuinely so insightful and made so much sense to me, and confirmed that I’ve made the right choice in seeking different therapy for my OCD
