testimonials
“I instantly connected with Denise, despite being in a vulnerable mental space when I met her. Her warmth and patience has enabled me to confront my past, gently solving problems from the root. The positive support Denise has given me is a vital foundation that I will apply to the rest of my life going forward. I was in therapy for 10 months and in that time completed two cycles of EMDR. This experience has changed my life. I cannot thank Denise enough for how she invested her skills and knowledge to help me have confidence in myself. I felt completely safe talking to Denise and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to start therapy.”

“I came to therapy out of necessity. My physical health had declined and I had found it difficult to live with parts of myself that had been trapped in a disillusioned and consuming existence. I came out of therapy with a renewed sense of what necessity means to me: to cultivate attention, explore and experience life more fully, connect with others and nature, and experiment with my creativity. My life is now emerging from deep within, from a place of humility, and most endearingly, vitality. Turning my gaze to the several months I was in therapy, I keep coming back to how much I enjoyed working with Denise. Abandonment and loss were recurring themes, hardly the stuff of enjoyment. And yet the process was enjoyable – very much so. Denise created that special place to make up for the things and people I had lost in my life. We would explore how I felt, what I was experiencing, and how to work a feeling through. Her effective appraisal, encouragements and interventions were caring and respectful of my circumstances. I am very grateful to Denise whose presence, energy and compassion have been inspiring.”

“The counselling I had with Denise helped me so much. I found her warm and understanding and I felt at ease with her from the very start. When I first came I was desperately lonely and sad – but over the weeks, after our talks, I felt so much stronger. Although I know it is still a very long journey, with Denise’s help I feel I have started on that process.”

“I was experiencing severe depression and lifestyle difficulties following the death of a close family member. I found Denise to be a friendly, approachable person. She provided me with sound emotional support, giving me the confidence to deal with my loss and move forward with my life.”
