Testimonials
“Carolyn was a massive support to me during one
of the most difficult years in my life. As my marriage broke down, she helped
me understand what a healthy relationship
should be and supported me as I moved
forward. She helped me understand things I hadn’t been able to look at before, and as such I found counselling with Carolyn truly transformational. I’m not
sure where I’d be now if I hadn’t had the good fortune to meet Carolyn.”

“I’d just like to say a big thank you to Carolyn for helping
me through a very rough patch in my life. With her help, I discovered my
relationship was never going to change; thanks to her I’ve now moved on to a
very happier and healthier relationship which I didn’t realise I could have. She listened and helped me find my true self.”
Tanya
“I wholeheartedly recommend Carolyn, with whom I have worked
for the past year and a half. She supported me through an incredibly tough time and during the fallout from several difficult life changes. When I first met
her, I was stuck in a controlling long-term relationship that had entirely
dented my confidence. Carolyn supported me to move forward and re-find my way.
As a result, my relationships with friends, family and my new wonderful partner
are now blossoming. Thank you!”

"My life is unrecognisable now,
compared with just a year and a half ago when I first started therapy with
Carolyn. She's really helped me overcome the things that were blocking me in
love and my career. I look forward to my sessions because of her warmth and
great chemistry. As I move through life's new challenges, I never want to give
her up!"

I first met Carolyn after having been referred to her
by an NHS helpline when I was seeking help in dealing with loneliness and
grie ffollowing the breakdown of my marriage and the loss of access to my step daughters. This situation deteriorated into a long period of deep depression, alcohol and sometimes drug abuse.
Whilst my ‘life’ situation remains unchanged,
Carolyn’s support for over two years has helped me comprehend the degree of
loss I suffered in suddenly finding myself alone after having been a family of
four. Her help in building coping mechanisms has since allowed me to overcome some
of my depression and reliance on alcohol and drugs. I have now built a new life
on my own with
optimism for the future and a new sense of self belief, not one
of self-blame.
Carolyn’s assessment and the affirmation she gave me
helped me realise that I am worth much more. Throughout the counselling,
Carolyn has encouraged many methods of self- support including anything from
walking bare foot in the garden to reading and listening to podcasts, some
funny and some deeply meaningful. Carolyn was the foundation of the start of my
recovery and set me on a path I know will have a positive outcome. We have
developed a strong, trusting relationship where I have been able to speak
freely to Carolyn about some things I would never speak of to anyone else. She
has put me at my ease and, when appropriate, made me laugh and smile, and, when
necessary, brought me back to reality.”

Carolyn has been truly exceptional and has in no exaggeration probably saved our relationship. As people who spend our lives communicating with people, we couldn’t seem to communicate ourselves. We had seen multiple counsellors for help, but had always felt let down, disappointed and in some cases judged. Then we had our first session with Carolyn and she immediately knew what we needed. She pulled no punches and unlike other counsellors she listened and helped us break down the issues rather than just sitting there listening. The sessions are a mix of laughter, thought provoking conversation and deep inward reflections – all of which Carolyn guides with ease. Offering each of us a private session to start really helped her understand the situation from a completely fresh perspective. Where we had been battling for years from our entrenched positions, Carolyn could see how our earlier lives had an enormous burden on our current relationship. After myself and my partners first joint session we felt we had completed a marathon, but we saw each other in a whole new light. Since then, in only a handful of sessions we have moved on lightyears and truly have whole new relationship, that is intimate and resolute. Carolyn gave me my best friend back, and for that I could never put a price on her services.
