“This is a review based on my first session with Jayne. First of all, she's very friendly, warm and "natural", for lack of a better word and I felt I could open up to her immediately, even about difficult topics. Obviously I can't say much about results, after all I only had one session so far but the second one is already booked in. ”
Therapist: Jayne O'Sullivan
“Incredibly friendly and really understood what it is that I need help with. Would definitely recommend and I will be work with Maria for the foreseeable future. ”

“From the first phone call with Hilary, I felt both at ease and confident she would be able to help me work through a more challenging period. We agreed an initial cadence to build an understanding of the direction of our sessions, and she has allowed me to explore issues openly, providing both specific advice and a space for me to talk through challenges. I've really appreciated her balanced approach – being both empathetic and helping me question and challenge my thoughts to provide strategies to work through in and out of sessions. My sessions with her have developed over time to what works for me.”
Therapist: Hilary Jiggins
“Dr. Sidra is an exceptional counselling psychologist, and I feel genuinely fortunate to have found her. From the very first session, she created a space where I felt completely safe, heard, and understood. She listens with full attention, never rushes, never interrupts, and gives me the sense that every word I say truly matters. Her calm and warm manner makes it surprisingly easy to open up — it feels less like a formal consultation, and more like speaking to someone who genuinely cares and wants to help me make sense of everything happening in my life. She has a remarkable ability to identify the core of an issue, gently guide my thoughts, and help me see patterns I didn’t realise were there. After each session, I walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded. Her professionalism is outstanding, and her insights are always thoughtful, practical, and delivered with kindness. I’m deeply grateful for her support so far and will definitely continue working with her. If you’re looking for a therapist who is patient, compassionate, highly skilled, and truly dedicated to her clients, I strongly recommend Dr. Sidra. Five stars without hesitation. ”

“I had the pleasure of working with Josef over the past two years, including a focused 12-week course, and I can honestly say he is an exceptional psychotherapist. From the very first session, I knew I was in safe hands. Taking the leap into therapy can feel daunting, but his personable, genuine, and non-judgmental approach immediately put me at ease. What really sets Josef apart is his ability to be both deeply supportive and constructively challenging. He doesn’t simply agree with you to keep things comfortable - instead, he offers fair, thoughtful, and insightful perspectives that genuinely help you move forward. He creates a space where nothing is judged: not your experiences, not the people in your stories, and not your emotions. One of the most valuable things that helped me was learning how to intelligibly make sense of my past. This has had a profound impact on my ability to process grief and improve my relationships, and it continues to benefit me moving forward. The work we did overlapped with some of the most significant periods of my life, including grieving my father and building a healthy, lasting relationship with my partner - and Joseph’s skill, experience, and compassion were instrumental in helping me navigate both. In all honesty, working with Josef has been life-changing. I can’t speak highly enough of him as a therapist, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering therapy. He’s a superb therapist and an excellent person to work with.”

“I have been seeing Ann-Marie for almost four years. She has helped me through two deeply traumatic situations, countless personal and professional challenges, various highs and lows. Her support is unparalleled: not just because of the breadth of her skills as a psychotherapist, coach and NLP/RTT and EMDR specialist, but also because of the authenticity, wit, honesty and humour that she brings to every session. Put very simply, having Ann-Marie to support me makes me a better human. She has taught - and continues to teach - me so much, while also showing me how to trust and listen to myself. I will be eternally grateful for having met you Ann-Marie, and for all that you do for me, and so many of us. Thank you!”

“We had a very positive experience with Denise. She was attentive and stayed on track during the session, even when other topics came up. She made the environment feel safe and supportive, and her kindness and warmth were evident from the beginning.”
Therapist: Denise McNally
“Silvi is an amazing listener, kind, authentic and over all an incredible therapist. She has made me feel safe and comfortable in every session, and helped me explore really difficult material from my life in a way that is meaningful and helpful. In my 13 years of therapy, I had never felt so supported and seen until I met her. Her approach is sincere, knowledgeable, empathetic, realistic and compassionate.”
Therapist: Silvi Neykova
“He made feel very comfortable as it was my first ever session. Ton Really seemed to understand what I was saying and gave me some super insightful information back which I can reflect on. Looking forward to my next session.”

“A good first session with May which left me feeling more positive about my life. Looking forward to my next appointment. ”
“Very polite and attentive....offered a couple of meaningful comments, but this first session was all about 'getting to know' so not yet the right time to gain insight. I give 4 starts out of 5 as Jonathan had not yet read my 'initial assessment' before 1st session.”

“The first session was really good. It’s always nerve-racking when you don’t know what to expect and talking to a complete stranger regarding private elements of your life. He made me feel at ease, and made me feel confidence that I did choose the right therapist. Highly recommended. ”
“Lovely, made me feel very comfortable.”
“It’s very difficult to explain just how incredibly fantastic Steph is as a therapist. I started therapy with her in 2020. At the time, I was suffering from postpartum depression, which only added to an already fragile mental health state. The pandemic was the proverbial last straw. I reached out to Harley because I had promised my already deeply worried husband that I would give therapy one last try. I had been to therapy before, but it never worked; in fact, I often left feeling misunderstood and unheard. So, when I met Steph for the first time, I had zero confidence in the process. I was only there to please someone else. I didn’t even choose her for her specialisation, I picked her randomly because I liked her face in the photo! Today, five years later, I can confidently say that choosing Steph was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. There aren’t enough words to describe what she has done for me. I will always remember our very first session. She asked me something no one had ever asked before: “What do you want to be?” For the first time in my life, I met someone who didn’t have an agenda or a plan for what I should do or how I should behave. She genuinely wanted to know who I wanted to be, what kind of mother, what kind of woman. And she helped me get there. Steph helped me unravel my mind, understand and appreciate my soul, face my fears, process my past, and plan for my future. It was a long, bumpy road. It wasn’t always easy. I had many sad and dark days, but she was always there. She helped me cope when my worries became too overwhelming, and she helped me recognise my accomplishments when I couldn’t see them myself. Over time, the fear, the anxiety, the “amygdala panic response” was replaced by her voice in my head, like she was still guiding me through my emotions. And then, gradually, it was no longer her voice; it was me. Her teachings became a part of my actions. I could see myself bonding with my son, placing emotional boundaries with people who drained me. I began responding with calm and perspective in situations where I would have previously panicked. I’ve grown. I’m calmer now, more grateful, more in control of my emotions. She helped me become the woman I always wanted to be. She taught me how to accept myself, all parts of me, with no judgment, only love and compassion. So if you’re wondering whether to start therapy, please give Steph a chance. You can feel better. You can be happy again. She may be the miracle you’ve been waiting for. She definitely was it for me.”
“Excellent, excellent, excellent. I have had a great experience and received more insight and clarity in a single session than I'd had in months. I may be lucky that I clicked well with Lesley, but I found her incredibly helpful to talk to, and her advice completely put me at rest. Would recommend!”
“I had an intuition she would be a good fit and she was. Made me feel at home right away. I was quite anxious I arrived because if the issues I had come to discuss but by the time I left I had calmed right down. A truly lovely genuine human being. ”
“Great first chat and looking forward to working more with Denise ”
“My first time ever doing counselling, felt relaxed and comfortable :)”

I felt so much relief after my first session with Stephen Towill. My only regret is not reaching to him earlier.
I came away from my session with Marina feeling really positive and confident that she is going to help me tackle all of the challenges in my life :)
This is my first experience with therapy and I chose Kim based on the high volume of great reviews she has. I’m so glad I did even from our first session. She’s warm, patient, insightful and it...
