I work during the day-time on week-days. There is no waiting room, so it is important that you arrive punctually rather than early, in order to protect your privacy, and that of any other clients I may be seeing.

TESTIMONIALS

As a man who had been widowed five years ago, I thought I had a handle on what I needed to get through life, despite three periods on anti-depressants. Each episode was worse than the previous one and still I thought I was coping. Eventually, the right GP with the right turn of phrase suggested that the medication was only a sticking plaster and to stop the spiral I had to seek help.

Jo's style of gentle conversation very quickly put me at ease. I found I was able to verbalise issues that I had kept even from myself and far from offering a "one size fits all" solution, Jo helped me find ways of coping that suited me and continue to help me. A sustainable way forward. I have learned life skills that I wish I'd had at school and actually feel that I am moving on. Thank you Jo - Stephen
 

I feel happier, more confident and healthier thanks to you – you've been patient, kind and completely understanding. I haven't cut my arm for weeks, and although the thoughts of doing it are still there, you've helped me think of other ways I can make myself feel better – Amy

I have a new job and have found somewhere new to live. I am certain I wouldn't have managed this without your help. I'm not even convinced I would still be here, and I can't thank you enough. I told you that you were magical! Thankyou so so so much. – Emily

Thank you so much for your help and support Jo. Having reached a stage in my life where I felt the need for a calm space to work through pressures and anxieties, our weekly sessions have provided just that. Your welcoming therapy room and warm, supportive approach enabled me to reach a place of clarity and perspective previously missing in my hectic life. I cannot thank you enough, it really has been life changing. Elizabeth
