I have been having sessions with Esmeralda for two years now and in that time I have grown into a more confident and secure person. Honestly, I actually can’t believe the difference sometimes… especially when I think back to the reasons why I first reached out for therapy. My sessions with Esmeralda have been a safe place for me to talk openly about my deepest and darkest thoughts without any judgement or fear of hurting my loved one’s feelings. And unlike a conversation with a loved one, the conversation has been solely focussed on me which is odd concept when you think about it -because how often do you get to talk unabated for an hour about yourself? For that reason I’ve found that some of my conversations with Esmeralda have been invaluable for my development and resolving some deep seated conflict in my mind, as they have shone a light on things that I may have never even realised. The best thing about Esmeralda is that you can hear in her voice and see in her face how much she truly cares and wants the best for you. I could not recommend her highly enough.

I started therapy this year for the first time in my life. I was very nervous, but Esmeralda made me feel at ease straight away. Esmeralda was very kind and I never felt judged at any point within the sessions. Esmeralda is flexible with the sessions and very understanding. I would recommend.
