Please find below some of the feedback I have received from adults, children and young people, and parents / carers.
Adults
'Having now learnt to deal with my past it has given me new found confidence and strategies to help me to deal with the future. I now have an overall sense of calm and quite high self esteem. I have found this the most helpful of any treatment I have tried and I don't mean it lightly when I call it life changing. Michelle is a wonderful person and I wish her all the success and happiness she deserves.'

'I have found this experience very enlightening and positive and I have been able to compare with other services in the past. I am so grateful I was able to see Michelle. I have found the experience to be challenging at times but not in a way that felt overwhelming, I felt Michelle was able to put me at ease during overwhelming or tricky times. I can't thank Michelle enough for the work she has done and I felt that our relationship was professional and friendly which reflected and reinforced the positive nature of the sessions'

'Michelle was exactly what you want in a counsellor, someone to listen and help you go forwards towards the anxiety and grief that you are feeling and not away from it. I feel that I have more focus on time to myself and what is right for me. Improvement in relationships and I am more honest about my feelings. This is a five star service. Michelle made me feel welcome from the start, made it all about me, how I felt and how to focus on the good things in my life. Thank you I really benefitted from our sessions.'

'Michelle is a good listener and talks a lot of sense. I do feel more relaxed, I am sleeping better and coping better with life in general. This was a very hard process for me at first but it has been worth it. Michelle has been very helpful in helping me to see things in a different way.'

Client Feedback
Children & Young People
'Michelle helped me to find ways to express my feelings, she was someone I saw once a week that helped to save my life. I now know how to solve and face life's struggles and learn in my own self how to acknowledge these feelings. I have learnt that it is OK to feel them. I still have some struggles but I can cope now. Michelle saved my life and stopped me when I was going to rock bottom. I now love myself and I am more independent. It has been life changing to me and my life.'

Parents / Carers
'Michelle has helped me to understand my son's emotions and how they impact on his behaviour. This has been achieved through the patience shown by Michelle and her ability to be completely flexible with my son who had initially struggled to open up and talk about his feelings. The fact that she has been able to help him to open up and understand his own thoughts and behaviour is a real success and has helped him to overcome his anxiety. The sessions with Michelle have had a positive impact on my relationship with my son, it has allowed me to take a step back and understand things from his perspective. This has been a very positive experience and has helped me to realise that it is important to seek help and how invaluable help is from someone who understands and help me to put positive strategies in place that actually work. I feel very lucky to have made contact with Michelle and feel that myself and my son have been on an important journey in the sessions that have resulted in the entire family being healthier and happier.'
