• “We are incredibly grateful for all the help and support we received through relationship counselling. Sam was kind, approachable, understanding, and genuinely caring throughout every session. She created a safe space where we both felt heard and understood without judgement. She gave us practical tools and guidance that have helped us communicate better, understand each other, and move forward in a much more positive way. The support we received has made a real difference to our relationship and has helped us work towards building a stronger, happier family. Thank you so much for all your time, understanding, and support. We truly appreciate everything you have done for us and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and helpful relationship counselling.”

• “Sabine is the very essence of what I feel a counsellor should be, she is compassionate, understanding, attentive and professional. There are no awkward silences, she encourages conversation and revelation with truth and honesty. I would highly recommend her services if you are genuinely looking for direction and support in your relationship. My wife and I have been navigating differences due to being different nationalities and how our cultural upbringing allows us to see the world through different eyes.”

• “The exercises about hearing each other without judgment was very helpful, still using it”

• “Our counselling sessions were very good and it was great to be able to share and talk in a safe enviroment. Sara guided the conversations to allow both of us to contribute equally which is sometimes difficult as I struggle to be heard. The sessions made us really evaluate where we are in our relationship and what we want for the future. Sadly, we are now divorcing but at least we gave counselling a chance and we are working amicably towards our divorce which is right for our futures.”

• “Very supportive and easy to talk to. Made the whole experience, which was my first time using therapy, very easy.”

• “Mark was absolutely amazing!! During one of the toughest times in my life, he took sense from my nonsense and made things realistic and honest. He helped build my confidence back and got me to a better place. Only due to financial constraints is why i didnt continue however if iget back up again i will definitely continue seeing him. Thank you so much and good luck to the west ham :)”

• “I highly recommend Jo our marriage counsellor, Jo has helped us communicate better, understand each other and work through some difficult times together. We’re so grateful for their support and guidance.”

• “We felt instantly at ease with Trish, she naturally creates an environment that feels relaxed and calm. We both felt able to open up be honest and transparent and occasionally vent occasionally emotional but all without judgment. Trish although calm in her approach is also no softy, she asks the right questions to make you think and get to the heart of the problem. Also when invited, she’ll point out some home truths, they’re not always easy to hear but essential in becoming more self-aware and making progress. All in all an excellent and totally professional experience.”

• “It was good to speak to someone who listened without judgement. It was unfortunate that my wife refused to attend, after asking for us to have counselling, as I feel that Sabine would have been the ideal therapist.”

• “Going for counselling was one of the best decisions we made in 2025. With God and Mark’s support, our marriage was saved. Mark taught us how to communicate with each other without attacking one another. He listened to us and never in a rush even when our paid time was over. If you need counselling, pls do not hesitate to use Mark’s professional support. He’s one of the best.”

• “I cannot put into words how grateful I am for Sam's help and support. Sam provided me with a safe space which made me feel comfortable and confident enough to open up to her. Sam supported me through 1:1 sessions and provided me with the advice and support I needed for me to use in my day to day life to help me to get where I am now. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I am so much happier and confident in myself. Sam also supported me and my husband with some issues we were having and we haven't been happier since. Sam is amazing at her job and I honestly can't thank her enough, she has changed mine and my husbands lives. Thank you Sam x”

• “Ryan was brilliant really. He actively listened, and tailored the sessions to what I wanted, which was a solutions-based approach, giving me pointers and suggestions to work on between sessions. I'd thoroughly recommend him.”

• “We cannot recommend Emma enough. Me and my partner have had couples sessions together as well as individual sessions. All sessions have been amazing and I always left feeling like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Emma has helped us both individually and also helped us transform our relationship for the better! From the beginning, she made us both feel comfortable, and never judged. She is very professional and great at what she does but she is also warm, friendly, and genuinely cares. With her guidance, we've both experienced huge positive mindset changes and have learned healthier ways to communicate, understand one another, and face challenges as a team. She introduced us to practical techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and recommended books and resources that have helped us change our thinking, become more positive, and continue growing both individually and together as a couple. She also encouraged us to both journal our thoughts and inspired us to always consider different or alternative ways of thinking which has helped us significantly! Our time with Emma has genuinely been so beneficial to us individually and as a couple and we are so grateful for her support! Thank you so much Emma!”

• “Sian is an amazing counsellor. She listens well, allows both sides to communicate, is honest and is very good at analysing the underlying issues to get to the root cause of it, which is absolutely necessary in order to start addressing the real problem. I felt a safe space with her. Before the first session, things were hanging on its last hinge. By the end of the first session, things turned around. Communication was much improved as there was better understanding of each other. I would highly recommend her service and would also use her again. I only wish I had found her sooner!”

• “My husband and I attended relationship counselling with Maureen following his affair, at a time when we weren't sure what the future would hold for our marriage. Maureen provided a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where we could talk openly and honestly about some very difficult issues. She helped us improve our communication, understand each other's perspectives, and begin rebuilding trust. A year later, we are still together and continue to work on our relationship. While the journey isn't over, we are in a much better place and feel hopeful about the future. We are very grateful for Maureen's kindness, professionalism, and guidance, and would highly recommend her to any couple facing relationship challenges.”

• “Maria was very helpful to us as a couple she was kind and understanding”

• “Lynn was amazing, she helped me with my anxiety and gave me grounding techniques that that I could apply to every day situations. She is patient, kind and I highly recommend her for CBT.”

• “We can’t thank Lynn enough for the support she gave us during one of the toughest times in our relationship. Lynn helped us both to understand things from each other’s perspective and, more importantly, helped us realise just how difficult things had been for each of us in different ways. She created a safe and understanding space where we could both be honest, listen to each other and start to rebuild our communication. Her guidance, patience and understanding made such a difference to us. She never made either of us feel judged and helped us work through things together rather than against each other. We’re incredibly grateful for everything Lynn has done for us. She helped us through a really difficult chapter and gave us the tools and understanding to move forward together. We would highly recommend Lynn to any couple going through a difficult time.”

• “I had various sessions with Jackie following a painful break-up. I was astounded by how much we unearthed together and how much I've since been able to grow from that. Jackie always created an atmosphere of care and support in our sessions, and I always felt safe (and held) enough to be vulnerable, and share things I've never shared before. She is amazing at what she does and I am forever grateful for the work we've done together. I feel lighter, more in-tune with myself and my needs, more aware of my self sabotaging behaviours, and I now show myself more self-love which was something I wasn't aware was lacking in my life. I've recommended her to various people and wouldn't hesitate to do the same to those reading this! Thank you so much Jackie :-))))”

• “Sian’s support has had a profound impact on my life. She helped me reflect honestly on every aspect of my life and understand how my actions and decisions had affected the people I love most. With her professional, compassionate and impartial guidance, she helped me and my family work through some incredibly difficult issues and, most importantly, helped us find a way forward together. Her ability to provide a safe and non judgemental space allowed me to be completely honest with myself and take responsibility for the things I needed to change. I am enormously grateful to Sian for her guidance, understanding and professionalism. Her help has made a genuine and lasting difference to both me and my family.”

• “I got on so well with Maria, very warm and friendly person with a lot of care and compassion. She helped me through a lot of issues, some current some buried deeper down and I can’t thank her enough for that. I used to struggle with being on my own and seeking validation from others but she helped me see self worth and self validation which made me so much happier in myself. Would definitely recommend Maria to anyone I know.”

• “We both felt very comfortable with Maria from the first session. She didn’t take sides and let us both talk. Along with couples counselling she also did individual counselling which was helpful. I would definitely go to Maria again if I felt I needed it”

• “Sian helped me and my partner work through our constant arguments. She helped us clearly define which behaviours and issues were causing us to disagree. And then helped us find a resolution and understand each other's viewpoint. I can confirm and say confidently that Sian helped save our relationship. Thank you Sian.”

• “I highly recommend Emma Perkins to anyone looking for relationship counselling. Emma created a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where both my partner and I felt comfortable expressing ourselves openly. We attended both one-to-one and couples sessions, and she was equally supportive and insightful in both settings. Emma is an excellent listener who helped us communicate more effectively, understand each other’s perspectives, and work through difficult conversations with patience and empathy. Her calm and compassionate approach made each session feel productive and worthwhile. Thank you, Emma, for your guidance, professionalism, and the support you provided throughout our journey. I truly appreciate the positive impact you’ve had on our relationship.”

• “Jo was welcoming and picked up neurodivergance quickly to tailor the needs of us. She listened and overall it was a very positive experience. I would 100% recommend her.”

• “Emma was very approachable and insightful to the issues we were going through. She assisted us on our journey to try to be kinder to each other and ourselves”

• “Both my partner and I (who don't agree on much!) really liked Daniel's approach. Daniel is good at reading between the lines and bringing unsaid things out into the open. He helped us have much franker conversations than we ever managed on our own.”

• “Emma's really good. Environment Emma creates is a nice safe space to talk in openly without judgement. Good techniques with building sustainability forward and has a wealth of experience.”

• “We came to Trish is a really vulnerable position and she immediately made us feel at ease. There were no sides or right or wrong, just space for us both to talk. We learnt about our own communication styles and how they were affecting how we communicated with each other. It was eye opening and though we still have work to do Trish's insights were invaluable to start. Thank you so much!”

• “My wife and I had couples therapy with Denese over the course of 9 months. We appreciated Denese's mix of listening, interpretation, and guidance. It helped us see our problems more clearly and she gave helpful suggestions for us to try. I'm happy to say that we are now in a better place.”

• “Emma helped me to understand my feelings and how to manage them. At times I did not know which way to turn or what to do for the best or how to remain calm in certain situations, mostly freezing at confrontation. I had a lot of deep down anger and emotions that I had kept inside for a long time. Emma's therapy recognised what I was going through and supported me through the massive changes I needed to make in order to find myself again, she provided techniques to manage anxiety and helped towards finding peace. I have become much more settled and confident and feel able to speak my mind more freely.”

We really appreciate the time spent with Mark and it helped both of us massively.”

Jackie provided tools which created awareness and understanding of each other. She also provided a safe impartial space to unravel issues. This gave us clarity and got us connecting and communicating again. I wouldn’t hesitate to revisit Jackie in the future. We now have strong boundaries around our family unit and a much peaceful happier home.”

• “Mark was an excellent, calm and wise therapist who helped us through a complicated situation and improved our communication and expectations for each other.”

• “We can't rate Maria highly enough. We have recommended her to many of our friends who feel they could benefit from couples counselling. We have managed to turn things around in our relationship and put that down to Maria listening to us and guiding us through changes that were needed on both sides. If we ever felt we needed counselling again (either as a couple of personally) we would choose Maria. Thank you Maria”

• “Sian was a great help to us, she made me feel really at ease and able to open up, she listened and I felt she really took the time to understand me and our relationship, but also was able to offer constructive advice which I have been able to implement and has been really helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to see her again for sessions in the future.”

• “Samantha was really patient and kind and spent time listening to our marriage issues. Samantha enabled us to discuss problems calmly, that we had been unable to discuss at home without arguing. She helped us to open up channels of better communication and to share our feelings, without any judgement.”

• “Working with Sara i have learnt what behaviors were wrong and what I can do differently. She listens and makes me understand what's good and how worthy I am. I'm blessed to work with her and will check in with her from time to time for updating and her expertise.”

• “Sara really helped me to understand what was right and what was wrong with my relationship She listened to both of us carefully and helped us to be able to communicate better. I wasn’t sure if the counselling was to help our marriage repair or for me to make a decision to leave. Sadly it was the later but myself and my husband are still close and see each other sometimes even though we are in Separate houses and are very happy in our new lives. Talking with Sara helped me understand what I wanted and that was peace. Thank you xx”

• “I would recommend Sara to anyone who needs someone professional to talk to. All my life I thought counselling was for “other people” and I didn’t need it. On the occasions that I did give it a go, they had been poor experiences. Sara was the complete opposite. Sessions felt like a casual chat over coffee (Sara’s coffee is also great by the way). There was no judgement or scrutiny but there was homework and an expectation that I continue to think and evaluate our discussions outside of the sessions. And from the thought and effort that she put in I could tell she does the same about her clients in between sessions too. The difference she made to me and by extension, my wife and family was worth the work and every penny!”
