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.

Esmeralda is a great professional, very patient and she ask the right questions. She has a very humane approach to issues presented, she is not judgemental at all and I feel I can openly talk about different issues. She has help me be more in peace in general and she also has helped to understand different point of views that I did not even think of. I sincerely recommend her as I believe she can help you too of you are struggling.
