"I was at a point in my life where almost all of my thoughts were consumed by my phobia, it was at this point when I felt I really needed to seek help. That’s when I found Heather. It was extremely daunting, going into our first session, as I didn’t know what to expect. By the end of that session, I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders at the thought of being able to get comfortable with the anxiety surrounding my fear. Heather immediately made me feel confident that if I put in the effort, I’d be able to get to the point where I am now. And here we are! She has changed my mindset and shown me the techniques necessary to conquer my fear. Although there will always be an adverse reaction to my phobia (it will never be something I’d enjoy) I can now say that with Heathers help, I can live my life without the constant, crippling anxiety I had when we first met. I also know that if I ever need to go back and have more sessions, Heather will be there to help. 

To anyone thinking about therapy, please take that step towards relief. It’s not an easy journey but it’s so worth it. Heather made it possible for me and I will forever be grateful for that."

"Last year, I couldn’t get out of bed due to my anxiety.  Since our sessions started I’m no longer worrying about things all weekend, I’m much calmer in work meetings compared to last year and am speaking up and taking control.  I’m going to propose to my girlfriend in a couple of weeks too.  I feel a lot more self-worth, I feel complete and I know now that I deserve good things"

"You’ve been wonderful & very effective.  My previous experience of therapy was much slower but you’ve been very articulate and got to the point"

"This has been transformative.  I’ve learned a lot not just about myself but about how the brain works"

"You have genuinely opened my eyes to my behaviours and behaviours of those around me.
You made it so comfortable to speak about a really embarrassing issue that I thought I'd never be able to speak about"

"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."  

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the work we’ve done together and how much you have helped me achieve. I’ve still been working on myself and can now walk around sock free, sleep barefoot and touch my feet without feeling real discomfort - quite frankly something I never thought I would be able to do in my lifetime. I am unbelievably grateful. I’m also now in a much happier relationship and, again, I am able to use the tools we spoke about to regulate any doubts or overthinking in a much healthier way. There are many, many more positive impacts our work together has had upon my life, and I just wanted to make sure I took the time to say thank you. Thinking back to where I was when I started with you versus now is a real night and day situation and I am so grateful for how much you have helped me reform my thinking and deconstruct how OCD impacts my day to day life."

"I’d never have been brave enough to leave my job and do something new if I hadn’t worked with Heather.  I feel so joyful and proud of myself"

“Immensely useful sessions, I don’t think I’d have stayed in my relationship if I hadn’t spoken to you now.  It really was life changing for me” 

“I’ve had a few therapists before and you’re by far the best” 

“It’s given me such perspective that I wouldn’t have ever got to on my own"

"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 (20 years) 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”  

"Thank you so much for everything you've done, I have a new perspective that I couldn't arrive at on my own"

"Heather has helped me massively with my therapy. She is very calm and understanding but also assertive and gives you things to think about and work on. This advice must be taken on board and acted upon. I would have no hesitation in recommending Heather - she really has made a difference. Thank you."

 "I was initially apprehensive about seeking support but you created a safe environment where I felt comfortable to share. Our time together was insightful and thought provoking. I feel I know myself a little better and am able to approach the challenges I face differently in the future."

"I really liked my first meeting with Heather, I felt like she understood me quite quickly and I liked that she picked up on certain things I had said and explored them with me. Looking forward to the next session!" 

"You have such a lovely way about you and you always say something in every session that I go away and think about, then maybe days later, it clicks and all makes sense" 

"You have really helped me to understand what's been going on in my mind recently.  Thank you so very much"

"I was really scared  but you made it so easy to talk. It was just like a normal conversation.  It seems strange to say I enjoyed it, but I did!"

"Thanks for the real help that you're giving X. I spent a few days with her recently and it is so encouraging and quite amazing really to see her making the progress that she is. I know there's a way to go, and a lifetime of living it, but it's wonderful to see"

 "You have been a great help. I have really benefited from the space to explore some of my patterns of behaviour, and I plan on working on them with the advice you have given me"
