Feedback from a range of past clients *


"I found it so easy to talk to Jacqui, she made me feel so calm even when talking about the most upsetting subjects."

"This has been the best I have experienced ... I feel stronger now, armed with coping mechanisms, a much better balance in my life, and so much less punishing to myself, as well as being eight months sober. This has helped save and change my life."

"Counselling with Jacqui has been a tremendous help for me. Right from our very first session she helped me to feel at ease, understood and listened to. I now feel better equipped with the tools and knowledge I need to face the next chapter of my healing journey."

"Jacqui has been amazing. She listens and understands me and can be trusted, which means so much to me."

"I can now get the anger out towards my father after years of bullying and injustice." 

"I immediately warmed to Jacqui ... I now feel stronger and more at peace."

"Jacqui was so encouraging and inspiring in the way she helped me about my darkest feelings and thoughts."

"After a very traumatic 18 months, Jacqui has helped me rediscover strategies that had got lost along the years. I now feel I am able to cope going forward."

"I feel well equipped in the next stage of my life, having some new found self-belief and assertiveness." 

"I have grown so much in confidence - I started the sessions broken ... there was so much trauma that I had experienced ... with Jacqui's kindness, empathy and knowing just what to say, she has steered me to a much happier and brighter future."

"She taught me how to love myself. Without Jacqui, I believe I would still be in my sad, dark place, dosed up with pills and given generic advice instead of looking to a brighter future."

"From being at my lowest point, this enabled me to reflect on things I could work on ... over time, I felt myself improving and family began to notice. I am stronger now and set myself realistic goals."

"Jacqui helped me to understand why I felt how I did and gave me many ways to manage my emotions that have helped me massively. She has also helped me understand the connection between mind and body."

"Counselling with Jacqui was the best type of counselling / therapy I have ever had. She helped get me through a very difficult time in my life."

"Thank you so much for the kindness and empathy you have shown me. I have never felt that before and it really enabled me to open up and explore some of the painful experiences I have endured, which were buried deep within me. You have given me comfort, peace and strength."

... and from a healthcare professional:

"In a professional capacity I have referred many people to Jacqui for support to address a plethora of issues. The feedback I have received has been exceptionally positive and, on many occasions, people have shared that they have previously engaged with counselling which did not come close to matching the impact that her input had given them. Jacqui seems to have a gift of making people feel safe and comfortable enough to share issues with her that they have found difficult to discuss in the past. She s also gifted in making people recognise that they have the internal tools to utilise independently, which results in long-term positive outcomes. I would not hesitate to refer people to Jacqui in future."
