Before I started therapy I felt as if I was stuck behind a brick wall I couldn't get over and I was in a really bad place. I then started attending sessions with Alison and it's put me in a MUCH better state of mind and I feel like a shadow who I was before I first started. Alison is very good at understanding your worries, taking on board the words you say, asking questions and is clear in explaining how thoughts/feelings work - I've gained a great understanding of this too. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is thinking about doing therapy. A really good new office as well :)

Alison has really helped me to understand my depression and anxiety which has massively improved things for me. I now feel much more in control of my situation which had felt so overwhelming and was negatively affecting all aspects of my life. I found her so easy to talk to and caring and she really listened to me. I totally 100% recommend her as she is very good at what she does!
