It’ll be no surprise to you that everyone’s experience of counselling or psychotherapy is very different. But that’s no help if you’re feeling unsure whether counselling might be the right thing for you just now.
So because I am unknown to you and because you might be new to the idea of this kind of personal development work, I thought it might be helpful for you to know what working with me has been like for other people…
“That hour was my safe place every week. I knew I could bring anything there.”
“Doing this work has allowed me to understand the places I hated about myself, the places I was frightened of. The places that frightened other people.”
“I feel better for having talked about some of the things I was finding so difficult about my relationships.”
“The time with Alison has really helped me understand my past. I feel I’m heading into the future with a better understanding of who I really am. At my age, that’s quite something!”
“Alison “got” me, she really got me.”
“I can’t tell you how much these sessions meant to me.”
