“Overall, I found the experience really positive and I genuinely felt comfortable talking to you. You made me feel listened to without making me feel judged, and I felt like I could be completely honest and open, even when talking about things that were difficult or uncomfortable.”

“I think one of the biggest things that worked for me was feeling like I had the space to talk things through properly. Sometimes I didn’t even realise what I was feeling or thinking until I said it out loud, and you were really good at picking up on things and asking questions that made me stop and think.”

“I really appreciated that you didn’t just tell me what you thought I should do, but instead helped me look at things from different perspectives and come to my own conclusions.”

“The conversations around recognising patterns, understanding my own behaviour and taking responsibility for the things I can change were particularly helpful.”

“I would absolutely say it was an overall positive and pleasant experience. I came away from the sessions feeling like I had been genuinely heard and understood, but also with things to think about and work on. I think you were compassionate while still being honest with me, which I really valued.”

“…being challenged a little was probably something I needed.”
