We found Sabine and found the sessions to be so helpful, we have were both able to put across how we were feeling without worry or judgement and with someone impartial to ask the right questions and keep us on track. We both valued our time with Sabine and wouldn’t hearted to contact her again should the need arise.”

She listened very well and kept me focussed on productive topics. By the end she was able to offer practical advice on addressing my partner's grievances without putting myself centre stage. She helped me have confidence in my own feelings, especially the painful ones.”

“Andrew is an excellent listener and makes for a perfect sounding board. I can highly recommend him as a therapist. He can bring things to mind which maybe weren't thought of before.”
“My wife and I have been seeing Sam for several months, and I can honestly say she has helped save our marriage. She is incredibly professional, but also such a warm and lovely person. She always listens without judgement and has an amazing ability to help us understand each other and work through difficult situations. The tools she has given us have genuinely changed the way we communicate and have given us so much more confidence in our relationship going forward. She is incredibly talented at what she does, and we really can’t thank her enough. We would recommend Sam wholeheartedly.”
“I’d like to share our very positive experience with Andrew. My partner is comfortable with talking about her feelings and past; I am not! This made me reluctant to agree to reach out to Andrew for help. However we did so and it was the right decision. Andrew picked up on each of our comfort levels and navigated it well with questions / exercises / discussion points to allow us to find the root cause of our difficulties and then provided tactics to help. He did push but never too far and was happy to let us go at our own pace. Also, he did recognise when he though we should “try it alone” and didn’t try to push for more business - very honest! Overall he’s been a massive help and provided us the tools to progress ourselves. Our relationship has recovered massively and now has solid foundations on which to progress. If you’re looking for relationship help then I’m happy to highly recommend Andrew.”
“We honestly couldn’t recommend Janine enough. From the very beginning, she has made us both feel comfortable, heard and understood. She has a wonderful way of understanding both sides without making either of us feel judged or uncomfortable. Janine is incredibly patient, thoughtful and really good at what she does. She has helped us communicate with each other in a much healthier and more constructive way, and has given us tools and understanding that have made a real difference to our relationship. We’re both genuinely so happy that we found her. Couples counselling can feel quite daunting, but Janine has created a safe and supportive environment where we can both be open and honest. We’ve been really pleased with how much she has helped us.”
