I always looked forward to the sessions because it was a space to talk, and I would always leave feeling positive and a bit better.

H

Has been very helpful in all aspects of my life, not just my mind. Helpful in the way of dealing with people and all sorts of problems associated with life.

J

It's been quite an incredible experience I didn't know what to expect. I put the ironing away for later and I learned a whole lot about myself.

M

I suppose it's that actually it's ok, not that it's easy, you made it easier for me. 

J

​Has been a positive welcoming, interesting experience. It always seems like, Mark has done his homework. Always feel like Mark is not scratching around in his head. Mark is very attentive, so once we are in the room it feels like it's my time.

B

It was useful to have the space I needed to talk openly, and led me to learn about myself in the sense of learning about where my decision making comes from.

Enabled me to make sense of things. Things I  have done in the past, to identify themes. 

S

It's been enlightening, relieving and overwhelming to realise just how speaking to someone you have never met can help, talking about it, dissecting it, and going through the process of why you are on the sofa in front of me.​

P

You helped me work through a lot of issues that happened in a short space of time. And the changes I have noticed have helped me move my life forward. 

D

I have found the sessions really helpful, and I always left feeling a bit lighter. The sessions have led me to things I didn't realise were there.

C

There were times I felt I would never feel right and even though it has been a long process, you have given me physical as well as emotional techniques to make me realise that I can cope. Most of all you have made me feel it's OK to be me. Even though there are still going to be problems, I will get through them. It's never going to be perfect. 

M

I like the options of different stuff to be able to express in different ways. I like you being flexible about when I can't attend.

E

Counselling has changed the way I think about things. I think it has definitely improved my life.

T

Counselling opened my eyes alot. You think you know what you are doing, then you realise that you don't. It's about finding out why. Once you find out why you can do the rest.

P

​I think you were very good at putting me at ease, because I felt very fragile as well. I felt safe, and like I could talk to you, and I felt you understood without judging me. I didn't want to explain it to my family, I just wanted it to be.

S

I came in here in not such a great state and there has been a journey of improvement. I guess there is an over-riding sense I can trust myself. I am prepared to own my opinions and believe them.
